Ribeye Steak with Roasted Garlic Pan Sauce

Ingredients

For the Steak:

  • 2 ribeye steaks (1-1½ inches thick)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme

For the Roasted Garlic Pan Sauce:

  • 1 bulb of garlic
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup beef or chicken stock
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Roast the Garlic:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap in aluminum foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft and golden.
  3. Once cool, squeeze out the roasted garlic cloves and mash them into a paste. Set aside.

2. Prep and Cook the Ribeye Steaks:

  1. Let the ribeye steaks sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Pat them dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat.
  3. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Add butter, smashed garlic cloves, and rosemary or thyme to the skillet. Baste the steaks with the melted butter for added flavor.
  4. Remove the steaks from the skillet, cover loosely with foil, and let rest while you make the sauce.

3. Make the Roasted Garlic Pan Sauce:

  1. In the same skillet, pour off excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon behind.
  2. Deglaze the skillet with beef or chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits.
  3. Stir in the roasted garlic paste and Dijon mustard (if using). Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the heavy cream and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the butter for a glossy finish and season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Serve:
Slice the ribeye steaks and serve with the roasted garlic pan sauce drizzled on top. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.

This Ribeye with Roasted Garlic Pan Sauce is a show-stopping dish packed with rich, hearty flavors. Enjoy!
