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 helps the meat cook more evenly.
2
Season the Steak
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of the steaks with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

3
Preheat the Pan
Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat for about 5 minutes until it is very hot.
4
Cook the Steak
Place the seasoned ribeye steaks in the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them, until a nice crust forms.
5
Flip the Steak
Flip the steaks using tongs and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. If using, add butter and a sprig of rosemary to the pan while cooking for added flavor.
6
Rest the Steak
Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
