Ingredients
  

2 boneless ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)

2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Steaks: Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. Pat them dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

    Cook the Steaks: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil until shimmering. Carefully place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time to your preferred doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil.

      Make the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Stir for about 1 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.

        Sauté the Zucchini: Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet with the garlic butter. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender and lightly browned. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

          Combine and Serve: Return the steaks to the skillet and spoon some of the garlic butter over them. Let them warm for an additional minute in the pan. Serve hot, accompanied by the sautéed zucchini and lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
