Equipment

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter softened
2 tablespoons Chimichurri Seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Grilled Rib Eye Steak

2 2-inch thick Beef Ribeyes
1 tablespoon Chimichurri Seasoning
Kosher salt and pepper

Instructions

For the Compound Butter

Mix together all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix together until smooth.

For the Ribeye Steaks

Liberally season both ribeyes with salt and pepper and Chimichurri Seasoning. You want a really good coating on both sides. Once seasoned, let the meat rest for about an hour or two at room temperature.
Heat the oven to 275 degrees. This might seem low, but this is the key to a reverse sear. Low and slow to make sure the steak is perfectly cooked before searing.
Transfer the steaks onto a wire rack fitted baking sheet and place into the pre-heated oven.
If you’re going for rare - cook for about 20-25 minutes for rare (internal temperature should be 110 degrees. If you’re going for medium rare, cook for 25-30 minutes until the internal temp is 120 degrees. If you’re going for medium, cook for 30-35 minutes until the internal temp is 125 degrees.
Once the steaks have been removed, heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil into the skillet and carefully swirl around before the handle is hot. Sear the steaks, one at a time, for 2ish minutes per side until you have a great golden crust. Remove steaks from the cast iron pan and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Feel free to move the steaks around as they are searing to get the most char possible
Slice steak to serve, top with a spoonful of the compound butter and serve alongside some skinny french fries
