Ingredients
2 ribeye steaks (about 1 lb each)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced

½ tsp lemon juice

4. Top with garlic butter and spoon melted butter over steaks.

Let steaks rest before slicing to keep juices inside.
