Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the ribeye steak out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps it cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

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

  4. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Add the steak to the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it, until a crust forms.

  5. 5

    Flip and Add Flavor

    Flip the steak and add the butter, garlic, and rosemary to the pan. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting the steak with the melted butter.

  6. 6

    Check Doneness

    Use a meat thermometer to check for your desired doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.

  7. 7

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Slice the steak against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
