### 🍳 Why It Works
* **High heat, quick sear**: Gets that crispy, flavorful crust on the outside.
* **Butter-basting**: Infuses the steak with garlic and herb flavor while keeping it rich and juicy.
* **Simple seasoning**: No marinades or rubs — just salt, pepper, and good technique.
* **Room temp rule**: Bringing your steak to room temperature ensures even cooking, edge to edge.

### 🔥 How to Cook It
👉 **The full step-by-step recipe is in the first c.o.m.m.e.n.t.** — but here’s the gist:
1. Let your ribeye rest at room temp for 30 minutes.
2. Season generously with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
3. Sear in a hot cast iron skillet with a little oil for 3–4 minutes per side.
4. During the final minute, add butter, garlic, and rosemary and baste.
5. Remove from heat and rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
That’s it. Classic, clean, and absolutely unforgettable.
