A rib eye or New York strip brought to room temperature, salted, seared undisturbed and basted with butter and garlic.
Main ingredient: beef

Ingredients
- 1 Steak (ideally a Rib Eye or New York Strip cut!)
- 2-4 Cloves Fresh Garlic (mashed)
- 4 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 Generous Pinch Sea Salt
- 1 Generous Pinch Black Pepper
Method
- Let the steak come to room temperature, then pat it dry with a paper towel.
- Season the steak generously with the sea salt and black pepper, and insert a meat thermometer if using one.
- Heat a high-heat oil in a pan over high heat until it glistens, using oil without a measured amount as the method gives none.
- Add the steak and leave it untouched for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip it and cook for another 3 minutes for medium rare at 135°F, or use the thermometer for another doneness.
- Add the mashed garlic and butter to the pan after flipping and spoon the melting butter over the steak as you move the pan, along with thyme if you have it, which the method names without a quantity.
- Rest the steak for 5 minutes, then slice it on a cutting board and pour the pan butter over the slices.
