A Brief History of Garlic Butter Steaks
Garlic butter steaks have a long and storied history, originating from the culinary traditions of Europe. Garlic has been prized for centuries for its aromatic flavor and health benefits, while butter adds a luxurious richness to any dish. When paired with succulent steak, these ingredients create a harmonious combination that has stood the test of time.

Ingredients for Roasted Garlic Butter Steaks
Gather these premium ingredients to create the ultimate Roasted Garlic Butter Steaks:
- 2 boneless ribeye steaks, about 1 inch thick
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Roasted Garlic Butter
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the minced garlic on a sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap tightly. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. In a small bowl, mix the roasted garlic with the softened butter and fresh thyme leaves until well combined. Set aside.
2. Season the Steaks
Season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. Allow the steaks to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking.
3. Sear the Steaks
Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned steaks to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired level of doneness.
4. Add the Garlic Butter
During the last minute of cooking, add a generous dollop of the roasted garlic butter to the top of each steak. Allow the butter to melt and infuse the steaks with its rich flavor.
5. Rest and Serve
Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender steak. Slice the steaks against the grain and serve hot, with any remaining garlic butter drizzled over the top.
Conclusion
With their juicy, flavorful meat and luscious roasted garlic butter, these Roasted Garlic Butter Steaks are a true culinary delight. Whether enjoyed as a special occasion meal or a weeknight indulgence, they’re sure to become a favorite in your recipe repertoire.
