Treat your ingredients with care...

• Ribeye steak — Allow the steak to come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking and a tender result.
• Fresh herbs — Use fresh herbs for the herb butter to maximize the flavors. If unavailable, you can substitute with dried herbs, but reduce the quantity by half.

Tips & Tricks

• For a more intense flavor, marinate the steaks in the olive oil, salt, and pepper for 1-2 hours before cooking.
• Let the steaks rest after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
• Experiment with different herb combinations for the butter, such as adding a hint of lemon zest or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Serving advice

Serve the Delmonico steaks with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad to complement the richness of the steak. Garnish with additional fresh herbs for an elegant presentation.

Presentation advice

To present the Delmonico steaks, place them on a warm plate and drizzle any remaining herb butter from the skillet over the top. Sprinkle some freshly chopped herbs for a pop of color. Serve with confidence and let the flavors speak for themselves.
