Print Recipe

A simple and effective method to reheat leftover steak so it remains juicy and tender, perfect for enjoying the next day without drying out the meat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8–12 ounces ribeye, sirloin, or New York strip steak, cooked and rested from the previous day
  • 1–2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1–2 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2–3 tablespoons beef broth or water

Instructions

  1. Take the leftover steak out of the fridge about 30 minutes before reheating to bring it to room temperature.
  2. In a small bowl, mix softened unsalted butter with minced garlic and finely chopped thyme or rosemary (optional). Set aside.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add olive oil, warming it without smoking.
  4. Place the steak in the skillet; you should hear a gentle sizzle, not a loud sear. Lower heat if necessary.
  5. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of beef broth or water around the steak to create steam and keep it moist.
  6. Cover the pan with a lid or foil and let the steak heat for about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Flip the steak carefully using tongs, add a dollop of herb butter on top if using, and continue heating for another 3-4 minutes, spooning melted butter over the steak occasionally.
  8. Check for doneness; internal temperature should be around 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare reheating. If no thermometer, steak should feel warm but springy.
  9. Remove steak from heat and tent with aluminum foil for 5 minutes to let juices redistribute.
  10. Season with fresh cracked black pepper and flaky sea salt if desired. Slice against the grain and serve.

Notes

Use low and slow heat to avoid drying out the steak. Adding beef broth or water creates steam that keeps the meat moist. Rest the steak after reheating to redistribute juices. Butter basting adds flavor and moisture. Avoid overflipping to retain juices. Microwave reheating is not recommended as it leads to tough meat. For dairy-free option, substitute butter with plant-based alternatives or extra olive oil.
