**Perfect Ribeye Steak Recipe: A Juicy and Flavorful Classic**
### Why Ribeye?
The ribeye steak comes from the rib section of the cow and is well-loved for its abundant marbling of fat. This fat, when cooked, infuses the meat with flavor and ensures a juicy, tender texture. The fat also creates a deliciously crispy crust when seared, adding to the steak’s irresistible flavor.
– 2 bone-in or boneless ribeye steaks (about 1 ½ – 2 inches thick)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil (or vegetable oil)
– Salt (preferably kosher salt)
– Freshly ground black pepper
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 2 cloves garlic, smashed
– 3-4 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme (optional, but highly recommended)
– 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional, for finishing)
