Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Steaks

1. Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
2. Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Sear the Steaks

1. Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Place the steaks in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side to create a golden-brown crust.
3. Reduce the heat to medium, add butter, smashed garlic, and herbs (if using).
4. Baste the steaks by spooning the melted butter over them.
5. Cook for an additional 3 minutes for medium-rare or to your desired doneness.
6. Remove the steaks and let them rest on a plate while you make the sauce.

Step 3: Make the Bourbon Garlic Sauce

1. Using the same skillet, carefully pour in the bourbon, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
2. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to burn off the alcohol.
3. Add minced garlic and 1 tbsp butter, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
