3. and swirl to cover the cooking surface..
4. Take your beef rib and season with salt and pepper on the side you're going to cook first in the pan. Only season this side initially to avoid curing the meat and drawing out the moisture and the blood..

8. in the pan. Leave the meat to caramelise.
9. Season the top of the steak generously with salt and pepper
10. and turn over. Leave to cook..
11. Once caramelised
12. hold the bone (or use tongs) to first season

15. Turn the heat down further
16. and add the garlic
17. bay leaf
18. rosemary
19. thyme
20. and butter to the pan. The pan is at the right heat if the butter foams gently. If it is smoking
21. turn the heat down more..
22. Shake the pan gently
23. and cook until the butter starts to turn brown. Then
24. baste the beef by carefully spooning the butter over the top of the meat..
25. Once the beef is cooked to your liking
26. remove from the heat and leave to rest for 15-20 minutes..
27. Serve whole
28. to be carved on the table
