Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribeye

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

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Pat the ribeye dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Generously season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Cook the Ribeye

    Add the ribeye steak to the hot pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it to get a nice sear. Flip the steak and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting the time for your desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Optional Butter Baste

    For added flavor, during the last minute of cooking, add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan. Use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the steak.

Resting and Serving

  1. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the ribeye from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Tent it loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes.

  2. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Slice the ribeye against the grain and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
