Ingredients

Units Scale
For the Ribeye Steak:
  • 1 (1.5-inch thick) ribeye steak
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary or thyme
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
For the Roasted Potatoes:
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
For the Sautéed Spinach:

 

  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes:
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
  3. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Cook the Ribeye:
  1. Pat the steak dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Add olive oil.
  3. Sear steak for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping once, until a deep crust forms.
  4. Reduce heat to medium, add butter, garlic, and rosemary. Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steak continuously for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Remove steak when it reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare or desired doneness.
  6. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Sauté the Spinach:
  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds, then add spinach and cook until wilted (about 2 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
Serve:

 

  1. Slice ribeye against the grain and serve over roasted potatoes and sautéed spinach. Garnish with fresh rosemary.

Notes

  • For a deeper crust, make sure the steak is at room temperature before cooking and pat it very dry.
  • Basting with butter and garlic adds incredible flavor and moisture to the steak.
  • Adjust cooking times based on your desired doneness: Medium-rare (125°F), Medium (135°F), Medium-well (145°F).
