Ingredients for Garlic Herb Butter Steak in Oven:
1 large, thick rib-eye steak (3lb or 1500g, a tomahawk rib-eye is recommended)
2 onions, halved horizontally
4 garlic cloves, smashed (peel on)
2 teaspoons fresh cracked black pepper, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 crumbled beef bouillon cube, optional
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup melted butter (or olive oil for a lighter version)
1 tablespoon hot sauce, your choice (Sriracha recommended)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon Italian flat parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon curly parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes, optional
Instructions:
Prep the Steak: Remove the steak from the refrigerator 1 to 2 hours before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat the steak dry using paper towels to ensure the surface is moisture-free for a better sear.
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to broil at 500ºF (260ºC) to achieve a perfect sear. Season the steak generously with salt, pepper, and, if using, crumbled bouillon. This seasoning ensures a flavorful crust.
Prepare for Roasting: Place the halved onions and smashed garlic cloves in a baking pan. Set the steak on top of the onions as they act as a roasting rack, allowing air circulation and flavor infusion. Broil for 5-7 minutes on one side, then flip the steak and broil for another 5 minutes.
Lower the Heat: Reduce the oven temperature to 400ºF (200ºC) and continue cooking the steak for an additional 10-12 minutes, depending on desired doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature: 125ºF (51ºC) for medium-rare or 135ºF (57ºC) for medium.
Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the oven and cover it loosely with foil. Let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter Sauce: While the steak rests, mix together soy sauce, melted butter (or olive oil), hot sauce, minced garlic, parsley, one teaspoon of black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.
Serve: Carefully slice the steak, starting by removing the bone (if using a tomahawk steak), and drizzle the garlic herb butter sauce over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich flavors of this mouthwatering Garlic Herb Butter Steak!
