A quick and easy bourbon-glazed ribeye steak recipe topped with luscious garlic herb butter, perfect for a flavorful and impressive dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks, about 10-12 oz (280–340 g) each, preferably well-marbled
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) bourbon whiskey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring ribeye steaks to room temperature for 10-15 minutes and season both sides generously with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix softened unsalted butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, and lemon juice if using. Combine well and chill in the fridge.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine bourbon, brown sugar, and 1 minced garlic clove. Stir occasionally until sugar dissolves and mixture thickens slightly, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Wait until oil shimmers but does not smoke.
  5. Place steaks in the hot skillet and sear without moving for 4 minutes. Flip and sear the other side for 4 minutes until internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
  6. During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, brush the bourbon glaze generously over the steaks and let it caramelize slightly, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Remove steaks from skillet and let rest on a plate loosely covered with foil for 5-7 minutes to redistribute juices.
  8. Serve steaks topped with a generous dollop of the chilled garlic herb butter.

Notes

Do not skip resting the steak to keep it juicy. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness. Apply bourbon glaze only in the last minute or two to avoid burning. High-quality butter enhances the flavor of the herb butter. If glaze thickens too much while resting, gently warm before brushing.
