Nothing beats the sizzle of a perfectly seared ribeye. Coated with crushed Kampot black pepper and finished with a buttery pan sauce, this dish is a carnivore’s dream with a spicy kick.
🧂 Ingredients
- 1 ribeye steak (approx. 300g)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed
- Fresh rosemary or thyme sprig (optional)
- Salt (to taste)
- Coarsely cracked Sela Kampot black pepper
🍳 Instructions
- Take the steak out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Pat dry and season generously with salt and Kampot black pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Once hot, sear the steak for 2–3 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust to your preferred doneness).
- Reduce heat to medium, add butter, garlic, and herbs. Baste the steak with the melted butter for 1 minute.
- Transfer the steak to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Sprinkle with a final touch of Kampot black pepper before serving.
🌿 Tip
Serve with roasted potatoes or a fresh green salad — and don’t forget a glass of red wine to round it off.
