Ingredients
Scale

- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 3 garlic cloves (whole)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- ½ cup beef broth
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients to streamline the cooking process.
- Season both sides of the ribeye steak generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter, then place the seasoned steak in the pan. Sear for 4-5 minutes without moving to develop a crust.
- Flip the steak and add garlic cloves and thyme around it. Baste with melted butter using a spoon for added flavor. Cook for another 3-4 minutes or until desired doneness is achieved.
- Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest.
- In the same skillet, add beef broth and lemon juice, scraping up any brown bits. Simmer until slightly thickened, then whisk in remaining butter until smooth.
- Serve by slicing the steak, drizzling sauce over each piece, and savoring every bite.
