1
Prepare the Steak
Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
2
Season the Steak
Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil all over the steak, then season generously with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

3
Preheat the Pan
Place a cast-iron skillet or heavy frying pan over high heat. Allow it to heat for about 5 minutes until it's very hot.
4
Sear the Steak
Carefully place the seasoned ribeye steak in the hot pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes without moving it to develop a crust.
5
Flip the Steak
Using tongs, flip the steak and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time according to your preferred doneness.
6
Add Garnish (Optional)
In the last minute of cooking, add a sprig of fresh rosemary and 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steak while it finishes cooking.

7
Rest the Steak
Remove the steak from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Tent it loosely with foil and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
8
Slice and Serve
After resting, slice the ribeye against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
