Cooking Minecraft Food in REAL LIFE!

Ingredients

• 2 pieces Beef Ribeye Steak (8 oz each, about 1‑inch thick, trimmed)
• 1 tsp Kosher Salt (for seasoning)
• 0.5 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper (to taste)
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil (high smoke‑point oil for searing)
• 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter (cut into small pieces for basting)
• 2 cloves Garlic Clove (smashed)
• 2 sprigs Fresh Thyme (optional, for aroma)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

   Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it fully preheat.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 350°F

2. Bring Steak to Room Temperature

   Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, then let them sit on a plate for about 10 minutes.

   Time: PT10M

3. Season Steaks

   Generously sprinkle both sides of each steak with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

   Time: PT2M

4. Heat Skillet

   Place the cast‑iron skillet over high heat and add the olive oil. Heat until the oil shimmers, about 2 minutes.

   Time: PT2M

5. Sear the Steaks

   Lay the steaks in the hot skillet without moving them. Sear for 2 minutes, then flip and sear the other side for another 2 minutes.

   Time: PT4M

   Temperature: high heat

6. Baste with Butter, Garlic, and Thyme

   Add the butter, smashed garlic cloves, and thyme sprigs to the pan. Tilt the skillet and spoon the melted butter over the steaks for 30 seconds.

   Time: PT1M

   Temperature: high heat

7. Finish in the Oven

   Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (or move the steaks to an oven‑safe pan) and cook for 5–7 minutes for medium‑rare, or until an internal temperature of 130°F is reached.

   Temperature: 350°F

8. Rest the Steaks

   Remove the steaks from the oven, loosely tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.
