Cooking Essentials

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make Cajun Seasoning

    In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the Cajun seasoning.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ribeye

    Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps in even cooking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Season the Steaks

    Rub each ribeye steak generously with the Cajun seasoning on both sides, ensuring an even coating.

  2. 4

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  3. 5

    Cook the Steaks

    Place the seasoned ribeye steaks in the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms. Flip the steaks and add the butter to the pan.

  4. 6

    Baste the Steaks

    As the second side cooks for another 4-5 minutes, use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the steaks. This adds flavor and moisture.

  5. 7

    Check for Doneness

    For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be 130°F (54°C). Adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness.

  6. 8

    Rest the Steaks

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing.
