Ribeye Steak Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook evenly.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Rub both sides of the steak with olive oil, then sprinkle generously with salt and black pepper. Press the seasoning into the meat.

3. 3

   Preheat the Pan

   Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat until it is very hot.

4. 4

   Cook the Steak

   Place the steak in the hot pan and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it. Flip the steak and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust time based on your desired doneness.

5. 5

   Add Flavor

   In the last couple of minutes of cooking, add butter, crushed garlic, and herbs to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steak to baste it.

6. 6

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

7. 7

   Serve

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