Calories 426 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon plus a pinch sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 2-pound grass-fed cowboy ribeye steak or 2 (1-pound) grass-fed boneless ribeyes
  • 6 fresh rosemary sprigs, divided
  • 7 garlic cloves, peeled, divided
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for drizzling
  • 3 tablespoons salted grass-fed butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Rub both sides of the ribeye with this mixture. Let the meat rest on a plate on the counter for 30 minutes.
  • Put 5 rosemary sprigs and 5 garlic cloves in a cast iron skillet. Drizzle some olive oil over them so there’s some in the bottom of the skillet. Place the ribeye on top of the rosemary and garlic so the steak does not touch the bottom of the skillet. Put the skillet in the oven and cook the meat to just before your desired doneness. It will take about 15 minutes to reach medium. Remove the skillet from the oven.
  • In a separate large skillet, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil over high heat. Transfer the steak to that skillet and sear the steak on both sides, about 30 seconds per side. Place the seared steak on a plate and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine the butter, a pinch of salt, the leaves of the remaining rosemary sprig, and the remaining 2 garlic cloves. Mash into a pesto.
  • Spread the pesto over the top of the steak.
