Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the rib eye steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps in even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Generously season both sides of the rib eye with salt and black pepper. If using, smash the garlic and add it to the seasoning.

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

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

  4. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Add the rib eye steak to the hot pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on the first side until a nice crust forms. If using, add the garlic and rosemary to the pan.

  5. 5

    Flip and Cook

    Flip the steak and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for your preferred doneness.

  6. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5-10 minutes before slicing.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice the rib eye against the grain and serve it hot. Enjoy!
