Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This allows for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steaks

    Rub each ribeye steak with olive oil, ensuring they are well coated. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until it is very hot. This will help achieve a perfect sear on the steaks.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steaks

    Place the seasoned ribeye steaks in the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them, until a nice crust forms.

  5. 5

    Flip and Add Aromatics

    Flip the steaks over and add the butter and rosemary sprigs to the pan. Continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes, basting the steaks with the melted butter using a spoon.

  6. 6

    Check Doneness

    Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 130-135°F (54-57°C). Adjust cooking time as necessary according to your desired doneness.

  7. 7

    Rest the Steaks

    Once cooked to your desired temperature, remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5-10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Slice the ribeye steaks against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly cooked ribeye!
