🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 grass-fed ribeye steaks (8 oz each)
✓ 2 tsp sea salt
✓ 1 tsp black pepper
✓ 1 tsp garlic powder
✓ 1 tbsp avocado oil
✓ 2 tbsp clarified butter
✓ Fresh thyme sprigs for garnish
✓ 3 large egg yolks (room temperature)
✓ 2 tbsp clarified butter (melted)
✓ 1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
✓ 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
✓ 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
✓ Pinch of sea salt
✓ 2 tsp Dijon mustard

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare Steaks: Remove ribeyes from refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking. Pat completely dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let seasoning adhere for 10 minutes.

2. Clarify Butter Base: In a small saucepan, melt 3 tbsp butter over low heat. Skim white solids from surface and discard. Slowly pour golden liquid into a warm bowl, leaving sediment behind. You need 2 tbsp for the sauce.

3. Create Hollandaise Base: Whisk 3 egg yolks in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler). Whisk constantly for 2–3 minutes until yolks reach 160°F and lighten in color. Remove from heat immediately.

4. Build Hollandaise Emulsion: While whisking constantly, add melted clarified butter to yolks one tablespoon at a time. Once mixture thickens, add remaining butter in a slow, steady stream while whisking. If it breaks, whisk in 1 tsp ice water to restore.

5. Finish Sauce: Fold Greek yogurt into hollandaise off heat. Add lemon juice, Dijon mustard, cayenne, and sea salt. Taste and adjust seasoning. Sauce should be silky and pale yellow. Hold in warm (not hot) water bath until service.

6. Sear Steaks: Heat cast-iron skillet over high heat for 3 minutes until smoking. Add 1 tbsp avocado oil, then carefully place steaks in pan. Sear 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare (135°F internal temp). Add 1 tbsp clarified butter and fresh thyme in final minute.

7. Rest Meat: Transfer steaks to warm plate and rest for 5 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute, ensuring tender, juicy results.

8. Plate and Serve: Place each steak on a warmed plate. Spoon 3–4 tablespoons hollandaise over the center of each steak. Garnish with fresh thyme and a pinch of sea salt. Serve immediately while hollandaise is silky.
