Bone-in Ribeye Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps in even cooking.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Generously season both sides of each ribeye steak with kosher salt and black pepper. Make sure to press the seasoning into the meat for better flavor.

3. 3

   Preheat the Pan

   In a large cast-iron skillet or heavy pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer, about 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Add the seasoned ribeye steaks to the hot skillet. Sear each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until a nice brown crust forms. Do not move the steaks too much to allow a good sear.

5. 5

   Add Aromatics

   During the last minute of cooking each side, add the crushed garlic cloves and fresh rosemary sprigs to the pan.

6. 6

   Baste with Butter

   Add the butter to the pan and, using a spoon, baste the steaks with the melted butter and aromatics for about 1-2 minutes.

7. 7

   Check Doneness

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

8. 8

   Rest the Steak

   Once done, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

9. 9

   Serve

   Slice the ribeye against the grain and serve with your favorite sides. Enjoy your perfectly cooked bone-in ribeye!
