Ingredients
Scale
- 2 thick-cut beef chops (ribeye or sirloin preferred)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp paprika
- Juice of half a lemon (optional for brightness)
Instructions
- Pat beef chops dry and season both sides generously with salt, pepper and paprika. Let rest 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat oil in heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear beef chops 4–5 minutes per side, forming a deep golden crust.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter, garlic and rosemary. Continuously spoon the melted garlic-herb butter over chops (basting) for 2–3 minutes.
- Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, squeeze lemon juice if desired and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use room-temperature chops for even cooking
- Don’t skip the rest — it ensures juices stay locked in
- Substitute dairy-free butter for allergy-friendly version
