Temper the Steaks: Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for at least 20-60 minutes to temper.
Preheat the Pan: Place a cold pan on the largest burner and add a little extra virgin olive oil to coat the bottom lightly.
Start Frying on Cold Pan: Place the tempered steaks directly onto the cold pan, then turn the heat to full blast (highest setting).
Flip Steaks Regularly: Flip the steaks every two minutes to ensure even cooking and browning.
Add Butter and Herbs: After about 4 minutes when both sides have developed color, add butter, crushed garlic cloves, thyme, and rosemary to the pan. Baste the steaks continuously with the melted butter.
Continue Cooking: Continue frying the steaks, flipping every two minutes, for a total cooking time depending on desired doneness.
Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the pan and place them on a rack or plate to rest for 5-14 minutes depending on doneness, allowing the juices to redistribute.
Season and Serve: Season the steaks with salt (if not done earlier) and freshly ground black pepper before serving.
