Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

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

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub each steak with olive oil, then generously season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Make sure to press the seasoning into the meat.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy frying pan over high heat for about 5 minutes until it is extremely hot.

  4. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Place the seasoned steaks in the hot skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to get a nice crust.

  5. 5

    Flip and Add Aromatics

    Flip the steaks using tongs, then add butter and rosemary to the pan. Sear for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness.

  6. 6

    Baste the Steak

    As the steaks cook, tilt the pan and use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the steaks and rosemary. This adds flavor and keeps the meat moist.

  7. 7

    Rest the Steak

    Once the steaks are cooked to your desired doneness, remove them from the pan and let them rest on a plate for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

  8. 8

    Serve

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