Gold-Flaked Ribeye Steak

Instructions

1. 1

   Take the ribeye steak out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

2. 2

   Season both sides of the steak generously with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

4. 4

   Once the oil is hot, place the steak in the skillet. Sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until it develops a nice crust.

5. 5

   Flip the steak and add the crushed garlic, fresh thyme, and butter to the skillet.

6. 6

   As the butter melts, spoon it over the steak along with the garlic and thyme. Continue to cook the steak to your desired level of doneness, usually about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steak.

7. 7

   Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes.

8. 8

   After the steak has rested, sprinkle the edible gold flakes over the steak to garnish.

9. 9

   Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately.
