Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the steaks with olive oil, then sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly on both sides.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until hot.

  2. 4

    Cook the Steak

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

  3. 5

    Flip the Steak

    Flip the steaks and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting the time to your desired doneness.

  4. 6

    Add Optional Ingredients

    In the last minute of cooking, add crushed garlic cloves, fresh rosemary, and butter to the skillet for extra flavor. Baste the steaks with the melted butter.

Resting

  1. 7

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest on a plate for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows juices to redistribute.
