- Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 clove garlic (minced)

Instructions
- Season both sides of the ribeye steak generously with salt and pepper. Let it rest at room temperature.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add olive oil and sear the steak for about 4 minutes on each side until a crust forms. Remove from heat and let it rest.
