Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless steaks 1.5 inches thick, ribeye, New York strip, sirloin etc
  • 4 tbsp steak seasoning see below
  • ¼ cup cooking oil high smoked point such as avocado oil, beef tallow, or canola
  • 5 tbsp butter or ghee
  • 6 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme

Steak seasoning

  • 4 tbsp ground black pepper see note 1
  • 4 tbsp table ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat your griddle to medium-high heat. Make sure the cooking surface is clean and free of any leftover oil or debris to ensure the steaks sear evenly and prevent burnt flavors.
  • Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and let them sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes.
  • Lightly coat the steaks with a high smoke point oil to help the seasoning stick. Season all sides of the steaks evenly.
  • Apply a thin layer of oil to the griddle surface. Place the steaks down and cook for 1 minute per side.
  • Continue flipping every 30 seconds for an additional 2 minutes. Sear the fat cap for 30 seconds to crisp it up.
  • Remove the steaks once they have a deep crust and reach an internal temperature of around 120°F. Let them rest for 10 minutes. Lower the griddle to its lowest heat setting during the rest.
  • Add 3 tablespoons of butter or ghee to the griddle. Return the steaks to the griddle and place the rosemary and thyme sprigs around them.
  • Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter or ghee to the top of each steak. As it melts, baste the steaks with the melted herb butter for 30–45 seconds.
  • Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer. For medium rare, remove at 130°F. For medium, remove at 135°F. The steaks will continue to rise 3–5°F as they rest.
  • Slice the steaks into 1/4-inch thick pieces with a sharp knife. Drizzle with any reserved butter and juices, and finish with a sprinkle of salt.

Sesoning

  • Add all the steak seasoning ingredients to a small bowl and stir until evenly combined.

Notes

Note 1: This recipe uses two different levels of coarseness of black pepper for texture and flavor balance. Ground black pepper offers finer coverage, while table-ground pepper adds a touch of coarser bite to help build a better crust.
