Ingredients

Steak
  • Ribeye Steak

    1.5 pounds

Butter Mixture
  • Black Garlic

    3 cloves, peeled and minced

  • Unsalted Butter

    1 stick

  • Fresh Thyme

    a sprig, chopped

Seasonings
  • Salt

    to taste

  • Black Pepper

    to taste


Instructions

  • 1
    Bring the steak to room temperature and season with salt and pepper.

    Start by taking the steak out of the refrigerator about an hour before you plan to cook it. This step ensures the steak cooks evenly. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Make sure to massage the seasonings into the meat to help them stick.

  • 2
    Sear the steak in a hot skillet with oil.

    Heat a skillet over high heat and add a small amount of oil to the pan. Once the oil starts to shimmer, place the steak in the skillet. Sear the steak for about 2-3 minutes per side for a nice crust, then reduce the heat to medium-low to finish cooking the steak to your desired level of doneness.

  • 3
    Prepare the black garlic butter mixture.

    While the steak is cooking, mix the minced black garlic, softened butter, and chopped thyme in a bowl until well combined. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste to the butter mixture.

  • 4
    Finish the steak with the black garlic butter.

    Once the steak is cooked to your liking, remove it from the heat. Place a generous amount of the black garlic butter on top of the steak. Let it melt slightly and infuse the steak with its flavors. Use a spoon to baste the steak with the melted butter a few times for extra richness.

  • 5
    Let the steak rest before serving.

    After cooking and finishing the steak with the butter, let it rest for about 5 minutes. This step allows the juices to redistribute, making the steak more tender and juicy when sliced. Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately.

    Blimey, this Beef and Black Garlic Butter Steak recipe is a real showstopper! As a sucker for traditional Irish grub, I was excited to try something a bit different, but still hearty and satisfying. And let me tell you, this dish delivers. The combination of tender ribeye, rich black garlic butter, and a hint of fresh thyme is absolute perfection. It's like a taste explosion in your mouth! The best part? It's surprisingly easy to whip up, even on a weeknight. I mean, who doesn't love a good steak with a side of colcannon, am I right? The only thing that would make it better is a pint of Guinness to wash it down. Five stars, hands down - I'd make this again in a heartbeat.

    ### A Delicious Steak Recipe with a Conscious Twist I really enjoyed trying this Beef and Black Garlic Butter Steak recipe. As someone who loves traditional Argentine asado, I appreciate the emphasis on high-quality meat and rich flavors. The use of black garlic butter adds a deep, savory flavor that complements the steak perfectly. What I appreciate most about this recipe is its balance of indulgence and moderation. While it's a meat-centric dish, the portion control and focus on quality over quantity align with my goal of reducing meat intake for environmental reasons. The recipe itself is well-structured and easy to follow, even for someone like me who is still improving their English skills. The instructions are clear, and the ingredients are readily available. Overall, I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a flavorful and satisfying steak dish that's also mindful of environmental impact.

    ### A Game-Changing Steak Experience I was blown away by this Beef and Black Garlic Butter Steak recipe! As a meat-lover, I'm always on the lookout for new ways to elevate my steak game. The combination of rich black garlic butter and a tender ribeye steak was absolute perfection. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, even for someone like me who's not a native English speaker. One thing I did change was using lactose-free butter to accommodate my lactose intolerance - and it worked like a charm! The thyme added a nice subtle depth to the dish without overpowering the other flavors. Overall, I'd highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking to impress their dinner guests or simply treat themselves to a delicious steak night in.

    This Beef and Black Garlic Butter Steak recipie is **very good**! As a meat lover, I enjoy steak and this one is special with black garlic butter. I like that it is not too complicated to make, but still has rich flavor. I only wish there was a lactose-free option for the butter, because I am lactose intolerant. Maybe use a lactose-free butter or margarine? The instructions are clear and easy to follow, even for me with not perfect English. I will try this recipie again with some changes to make it work for me.

    Fair dinkum, this steak recipe hits the spot! As a meat-and-potatoes kind of bloke, I love a good steak, and this one's got some serious flavor going on. The black garlic butter is a game-changer - it adds a richness that's hard to beat. I've gotta keep an eye on my cholesterol levels, but this recipe's a good compromise. The thyme and pepper add a nice touch without overpowering the steak. My only gripe is that it's a bit fussy with the butter mixture and basting, but it's worth the effort. Overall, a ripper of a recipe that's perfect for a pub-style feed at home. Would chuck it on the barbie for mates and family, no worries.

    This beef and black garlic butter steak recipe is straight fire! I'm a meat guy, so a perfectly cooked steak is always a win in my book. The addition of black garlic butter takes it to a whole new level. I love how easy it is to make, just throw some stuff in a pan and you're good to go. The thyme adds a nice freshness to balance out the richness of the butter and garlic. I've had this with some grilled veggies and mexican street corn and it was amazing. Only thing I'd change is adding some chili flakes to the butter for an extra kick. Definitely recommend this recipe to all my fellow carnivores out there!

As someone who values the nuances of flavor and texture, I found the combination of the tender ribeye steak, the aromatic thyme, and the savory black garlic butter to be a match made in heaven. The only consideration I had was ensuring that the dish was shellfish-free, which it happily was. Overall, I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking to elevate their steak game and indulge in a truly satisfying culinary experience.

    OMG, this beef and black garlic butter steak recipe is a **game-changer**! I mean, who doesn't love a good steak, right? The combo of black garlic and butter is straight fire! I'm a big fan of trying new street foods and this one is def on my list now. The prep time is pretty chill too, like 20-30 mins, and the cook time is quick, around 15-25 mins. I love that it's not too complicated, just make sure to let the steak rest for 5 mins after cooking. The flavors are so rich and intense, I was **hooked** from the first bite! If you're a meat lover like me, you gotta try this recipe. It's perfect for a night in or when you're feelin' fancy. **Highly recommended**!

    Namaste! I appreciate the effort that went into creating this Beef and Black Garlic Butter Steak recipe. However, I'm afraid it doesn't quite align with my dietary preferences as a vegetarian. The use of ribeye steak is a significant turn-off for me. That being said, I can appreciate the flavors and techniques involved, particularly the use of black garlic and thyme. If I were to imagine a vegetarian version, perhaps with a portobello mushroom or eggplant steak, I think it could be quite delightful! Chalo, maybe I'll experiment with that idea someday.
