Chrissy Teigen's simple recipe only requires a few ingredients, and it'll cost you less than $20 to make a great steak dinner. Teigen's recipe instructs you to season all sides of the steak "VERY generously with salt and pepper" (emphasis hers not mine). So I made it rain with the salt and pepper and then, per Teigen's advice, let the steaks sit for an hour so they could come to room temperature. Teigen notes that it's very important to let your steaks sit for at least half an hour, if not the full hour. "It will make sure your meat cooks evenly (not cooked on the outside and raw inside because it's too cold!)," she wrote. "And that the seasoning can really get into the entire thick ribeye."

Instructions

Step 1

First, I heated up a large, heavy cast-iron skillet over high heat until it was very hot, but not smoking.

Step 2

I added two teaspoons of vegetable oil to the skillet, tilting it to evenly coat the entire surface.

Step 3

Then I threw the first steak into the skillet, letting it cook for three minutes without moving so that a crust could form underneath.

Step 4

I gave the steak a flip and saw it was browning beautifully.

Step 5

Then it was time to add the rest of my ingredients to the pan.

Step 6

Then I added my garlic, rosemary, and olive oil

Step 7

I threw in four peeled garlic cloves, one sprig of rosemary, one tablespoon of olive oil, and three tablespoons of unsalted butter to one side of the skillet.

Step 8

My friend Zach, who was acting as sous chef for the night, explained to me that adding everything to one side ensures that the butter won't burn during the cooking process.

Step 9

As the butter melted, I began to baste the steak.

Step 10

I cooked my steak for about eight minutes, basting it the entire time.

Step 11

I scooped up some of the butter-oil mixture and spooned it over the steak a few times before flipping.

Step 12

"Butter is used to baste the steak, ensuring an evenly golden crust as the hot fat coats the meat," Teigen writes in her recipe. "This technique is used in restaurants, but is easily achievable in your home kitchen."

Step 13

Per Teigen's instructions, I continued to baste and flip the steak every few minutes until the steak was medium-rare (which took around eight minutes total).

Step 14

After letting the steak rest for five minutes, it was ready to go.

Step 15

After I drizzled my steaks with the leftover pan juices, as the recipe instructed, it was time to dig in. And they tasted just as good as they looked
