Equipment

  • Cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan
  • Tongs
  • Meat thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 grass-fed steaks ribeye, sirloin, or your preferred cut
  • 2 tbsp grass-fed butter or ghee
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Heat the Skillet: Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan.
  • Sear the Steaks: Once the pan is hot, add the steaks. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until a golden-brown crust forms.
  • Add Butter, Garlic, and Rosemary: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the grass-fed butter or ghee, minced garlic, and rosemary sprigs to the pan. Baste the steaks with the melted butter mixture, using a spoon to continuously coat the steaks.
  • Cook to Desired Doneness: Continue cooking the steaks, flipping occasionally and basting with the butter mixture, until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
  • Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • Serve: Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with the garlic and rosemary butter drizzled on top. Enjoy your delicious and healthy pan-seared grass-fed steak!
