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 ensures even cooking.
2
Season the Steak
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of the steaks with olive oil, then generously season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

3
Preheat the Grill or Pan
Preheat your grill or a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat for about 5-10 minutes until it is very hot.
4
Cook the Steak
Place the seasoned ribeye steaks on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them, allowing a crust to form.
5
Flip the Steak
Flip the steaks using tongs and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred doneness.
6
Add Optional Ingredients
If using, add the butter and fresh rosemary to the pan during the last minute of cooking. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks for added flavor.

7
Rest the Steak
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

8
Serve the Steak
Slice the ribeye steaks against the grain and serve immediately, optionally garnished with more fresh rosemary or a sprinkle of salt.
