Rib Eye Steak Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Preparation

   Remove the rib eye steak from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

2. 2

   Seasoning

   Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Searing the Steak

   In a large skillet or grill pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the rib eye steak and sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it.

4. 4

   Flipping the Steak

   Turn the steak over using tongs. Add the butter, garlic cloves, and rosemary to the pan.

5. 5

   Basting

   As the steak cooks, tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steak with the melted butter and juices for additional flavor. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

6. 6

   Resting

   Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

7. 7

   Serving

   Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
