Meat

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them cook more evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steaks

    Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub each steak with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill to high heat or place a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat on the stove. If using a skillet, you can add a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Steaks

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

  3. 5

    Flip and Finish Cooking

    Flip the steaks and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more done. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (130°F for medium-rare).

  4. 6

    Add Butter (Optional)

    If you like, during the last minute of cooking, add butter to the skillet and baste the steaks with the melted butter for extra flavor.

Resting and Serving

  1. 7

    Rest the Steaks

    Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the ribeye steaks garnished with fresh rosemary if desired. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes!
