Gordon Ramsay's Pan-Seared Garlic Butter Ribeye
Gordon Ramsay's ultimate pan-searing method for steak: a thick ribeye basted continuously with butter, garlic cloves, fresh rosemary, and thyme in a screaming-hot cast-iron skillet, creating an exceptional caramelized crust and tender center. This iconic baste technique has become a gold standard for home cooks and Michelin kitchens alike.

Ingredients
- 1 thick bone-in Ribeye steak (approx. 16-18 oz)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 whole garlic cloves, smashed slightly
- 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 2 tbsp olive oil (high smoke point)
- 1 tbsp coarse sea salt
- 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Steps
- Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat completely dry with paper towels.
- Season all sides generously with coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper, pressing the seasoning firmly into the meat.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Carefully lay the seasoned steak into the pan, searing for 2 to 2.5 minutes without moving it to build a deep crust. Flip and sear for another 2 minutes.
- Lower the skillet heat to medium. Toss in the butter, smashed garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme sprigs.
- Tilt the pan slightly and use a large spoon to baste the melted butter continuously over the top of the steak for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a warm plate for 5-7 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
