Usda Prime Ribeye Steak Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

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

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Generously season both sides of the ribeye steak with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pat the seasonings into the meat.

3. 3

   Preheat the Skillet

   Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it's very hot. Add olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Place the seasoned ribeye steak in the hot skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it. This develops a crust.

5. 5

   Flip and Add Aromatics

   Flip the steak using tongs. Add butter, garlic, and rosemary to the skillet. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, basting the steak with the melted butter.

6. 6

   Check for Doneness

   Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 130°F (54°C). Adjust cooking time based on desired doneness.

7. 7

   Rest the Steak

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

8. 8

   Slice and Serve

   Slice against the grain and serve with your choice of sides.
