Brown Butter–Basted Steak

Ingredients for Brown Butter–Basted Steak

• 1 (1 3/4"-thick) bone-in rib eye (about 675g .)

• Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 2 sprigs rosemary

• 2 garlic cloves, crushed

• Flaky sea salt

Season steak generously with kosher salt and pepper and let sit at room temperature 1 hour.

Heat a dry large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high, then add oil. As soon as oil is smoking, cook steak, turning every 2 minutes or so, until a deep brown crust forms and the internal temperature is a few degrees below your favored doneness (49°C to 52°C for medium-rare), 8–10 minutes.

Add butter, rosemary, and garlic to skillet, tilt pan toward you so that butter pools on one side, and use a large spoon to continually baste steak with butter. Continue until butter is no longer bubbling and it smells nutty and is beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Transfer meat to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. (For medium-rare, your steak should reach an internal temperature of 52°C to 54°C.)

Cut meat from bone and slice against the grain 1" thick. Spoon some infused brown butter over steak and sprinkle with sea salt.
