Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the rib eye steak from the fridge and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the steak with olive oil, then generously season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet over high heat until it’s very hot.

  4. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Place the steak on the grill or skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it. Flip it and sear the other side for another 4-5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Aromatics

    Add crushed garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs to the pan or grill for the last minute of cooking, basting the steak with the juices.

  6. 6

    Check for Doneness

    Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should read 130-135°F (54-57°C).

  7. 7

    Rest the Steak

    Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain juices.

  8. 8

    Serve

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