Herb-Crusted Ribeye Steak Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Instructions:
- Prepare the Steaks:
- Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Make the Herb Crust:
- In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped parsley, rosemary, and thyme. Add the Dijon mustard and olive oil, mixing until you have a paste. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs until well combined.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Sear the Steaks:
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over high heat. Add a little olive oil to the pan.
- Sear the steaks for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until a golden-brown crust forms. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Apply the Herb Crust:
- Divide the herb mixture evenly and press it firmly onto the top of each steak to form a crust.
- Finish in the Oven:
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast the steaks for about 6-10 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness:
- For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
- For medium, aim for 140°F (60°C).
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast the steaks for about 6-10 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness:
- Rest the Steaks:
- Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steaks to a cutting board. Let the steaks rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve:
- Slice the steaks against the grain and serve them with your favorite sides. Enjoy the rich, herbaceous flavor of the crust with each bite of the juicy ribeye.
Tips:
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a splash of red wine or beef broth to the skillet before transferring it to the oven.
- Ensure your steaks are at room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking throughout.
