How to Make Barbecue Rib Eye Steak

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Place two (1-inch thick) rib eye steaks (about 1 pound total) in a resealable bag. Pour marinade over steaks, seal, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours).
In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over low heat.
Add 1/2 cup grated yellow onion, 1 clove minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes until softened.
Stir in 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Bring to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot (about 5 minutes).
Remove steaks from marinade, pat semi-dry with paper towels.
Place steaks in the hot skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to reach desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy (130-135°F for medium-rare).
Baste steaks frequently with the barbecue sauce during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
Remove steaks from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon remaining barbecue sauce over steaks before serving.
