Steak

Method
Preparation
Prepare the Steak
Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.
Season the Steak
Generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with kosher salt and black pepper. For a deeper flavor, you can add minced garlic and herbs from the optional marinade at this stage.
Cooking
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet or cast iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.
Cook the Steak
Place the ribeye steaks in the hot pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms. Flip the steaks and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if desired.
Rest the Steak
Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
Serving
Slice and Serve
Slice the ribeye steaks against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite sides.
