Learn how to cook juicy rib eye steak in a pan with garlic butter like a pro. This recipe is super easy and calls for a few ingredients.

You can’t beat the smell of a juicy steak sizzling in the pan or the taste of a rich and buttery steak sauce. The great news is that you can enjoy an easy to cook, gourmet steak dinner whilst on a low carb diet.

This steak recipe combines the bold, earthy flavours of garlic and rosemary with butter to create a simple, one pan steak sauce that will bring the tastes and aromas of a French bistro into your kitchen. Easy enough to cook on a busy weeknight, yet impressive enough to wow your friends with at a dinner party. This recipe will quickly become one of your favourites.

Choosing a rib eye steak will guarantee a juicy cut of meat with a bit of bite, whilst using a fillet steak will ensure meat with a butter-soft, tender texture. However, this recipe will taste delicious with whichever happens to be your preferred cut of steak. Just cook the steaks a little longer if they are particularly thick, or for less time if they are thinly cut.

Serve this recipe with your choice of low carb sides; simply boil and crush some peas with chopped fresh mint, seasoning and olive oil for minty peas or cook thinly sliced aubergine and courgette on a griddle pan for a few minutes to mix with roasted cherry tomatoes, olive oil and seasoning for a Mediterranean salad that pleases the eyes and the palate. If you’re short of time, a crisp basic salad also complements this dish fantastically.

Bon appetit!

To Make Rib Eye Steak With Garlic Butter, You Will Need:

• Steaks of your choice of cut, I used rib eye.
• Salt
• Ground pepper
• Light olive oil
• Butter
• Sprig of fresh rosemary
• Garlic, crushed

How To Cook Rib Eye Steak In A Pan With Garlic Butter

Wash the steaks then thoroughly pat dry with a kitchen towel.

Season the steaks with salt and ground pepper on both sides.
Place a heavy frying pan over medium heat until it is hot enough that water hisses when you flick it onto the pan, then spray the pan with light olive oil.

Cook the steaks for 3 minutes on one side, then turn and cook on the other side for another 3 minutes.

Lower the heat and add the butter, rosemary and garlic to the pan.

Then, use a spoon to pour the butter, rosemary and garlic over the steaks. Continue to cook the steaks for a further 5 minutes, or until fully cooked, continuing to use a spoon to pour over the butter, rosemary and garlic sauce.

Serve with a crisp salad, roast Mediterranean vegetables or minty peas.

Tips and Variations

Substitute 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary if fresh is not available, but the taste will not be quite as good.

You may also replace the rosemary with thyme if you want.

Replace rib eye with sirloin.
