Ingredients
Ribeye Steaks
2 ribeye steaks, 16 to 20 ounces each
4 teaspoons Maldon flaky salt or Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 Tablespoons butter
2 sprigs fresh thyme
Maître d' Butter
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon flaky salt or Kosher salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Butter
Combine the parsley, lemon juice, salt, softened butter, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the butter to a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a log about 1 inch thick. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Sous Vide the Steaks
Preheat the Wolf Convection Steam Oven to 132°F in Steam Mode with a perforated pan in rack position 2.
Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
Place each steak in its own vacuum-sealed or sous vide-safe bag with 1 Tablespoon butter and 1 sprig thyme. Seal the bags.
Cook on the perforated pan for 2 hours 30 minutes.
Sear the Steaks
Remove the steaks from the bags and discard the thyme. Pat the steaks completely dry.
Heat a cast-iron or heavy-bottom skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes.
Add a small amount of high-heat oil and sear the steaks for about 2 minutes per side.
Serve
Top each steak with a slice of Maître d’ Butter and allow the steaks to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
