Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 steaks ribeye or New York strip 1-inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese grated
  • ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 2 tablespoons butter for basting

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl For preparing the herb mixture
  • Heavy Skillet or Cast Iron Pan For achieving the perfect sear
  • Tongs For flipping the steak
  • Meat Thermometer To check internal temperature

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Brush steaks lightly with olive oil, then press the herb mixture firmly onto both sides.
  3. Heat a heavy skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.
  4. Place steaks in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until a golden crust forms.
  5. Add butter to the pan and baste the steak by spooning the melted butter over the top.
  6. Remove from the pan and let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, broil the steak for 1-2 minutes after searing.
  • Letting the steak rest before slicing keeps it juicy.
  • Pairs well with roasted potatoes, grilled asparagus, or a fresh salad.
