1
Season the Steak
Take the rib eye steaks and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
2
Rest the Steak
Let the seasoned steaks sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4
Cook the Steak
Place the rib eye steaks in the hot pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, without moving them, until a nice crust forms.
5
Add Aromatics
Flip the steaks and add the garlic cloves and rosemary to the pan. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for your desired doneness.
6
Baste the Steak
Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the pan juices and aromatics for enhanced flavor.

7
Rest the Steak
Remove the steaks from the pan and place them on a cutting board. Tent with foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
8
Serve
Slice against the grain and serve the rib eye steaks with optional sides like roasted asparagus and potatoes.
