Ribeye Steak Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature, about 30-60 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

2. 2

   Seasoning

   Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Heat the Pan

   Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat until it’s smoking hot. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Carefully place the seasoned ribeye in the pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it, until a golden-brown crust forms.

5. 5

   Add Aromatics

   Flip the steak and add the garlic cloves and rosemary to the pan. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting the steak with the pan juices using a spoon.

6. 6

   Check for Doneness

   Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. The internal temperature should be 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

7. 7

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

8. 8

   Serve

   Slice against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly cooked ribeye steak!
