Every Way To Cook a Steak in Minecraft

Ingredients

• 2 pieces Ribeye Steak (about 1½‑inch thick, 12‑14 oz each)
• 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt (coarse, for seasoning)
• ½ teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper (adjust to taste)
• ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder (optional, for extra flavor)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (cut into small cubes, room temperature)
• 2 sprigs Fresh Thyme (plus extra for garnish)
• 1 sprig Fresh Rosemary (plus extra for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (high smoke‑point oil for searing)

Instructions

1. Bring Steak to Room Temperature

   Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit uncovered on a plate for 30‑45 minutes until they reach room temperature.

   Time: PT15M

2. Season the Steaks

   Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides evenly with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Gently press the seasoning into the meat.

   Time: PT2M

3. Preheat the Skillet

   Place the cast‑iron skillet over high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and heat until the oil just begins to shimmer (about 2‑3 minutes).

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: high heat

4. Sear the Steaks

   Lay the steaks in the hot skillet away from you. Sear without moving for 2‑3 minutes until a deep brown crust forms. Flip with tongs and sear the other side for another 2‑3 minutes.

   Time: PT6M

   Temperature: high heat

5. Add Butter and Herbs

   Reduce heat to medium‑low. Add the butter cubes, thyme sprigs, and rosemary sprig. As the butter melts, tilt the pan and spoon the herb‑infused butter over the steaks continuously for 1‑2 minutes.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: medium‑low

6. Check Doneness

   Insert an instant‑read thermometer into the thickest part of each steak. Aim for 125°F (52°C) for medium‑rare; the temperature will rise 5‑10°F while resting.

   Time: PT1M

7. Rest the Steaks

   Transfer the steaks to a cutting board, loosely cover with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

8. Serve

   Slice against the grain if desired, drizzle any remaining pan butter over the slices, garnish with extra thyme or rosemary, and serve immediately.

   Time: PT1M
