Main Ingredients

Optional Marinade Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps the steak cook more evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub each steak with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  3. 3

    Optional Marinade

    If desired, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and lemon juice in a bowl. Marinate the steaks in this mixture for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking for added flavor.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Heat your grill or cast-iron skillet over high heat for about 5-10 minutes until it’s very hot.

  2. 5

    Cook the Steak

    Place the steaks on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to achieve a nice sear.

  3. 6

    Flip the Steak

    Using tongs, flip the steaks over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust the time if you prefer your steak more or less cooked.

  4. 7

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 8

    Slice and Serve

    After resting, slice the steak against the grain and serve with your favorite sides. Enjoy your perfectly cooked steak!
