Steak

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps in cooking evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steaks

    Generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper. Ensure every bit of the meat is coated for maximum flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. You can test the heat by dropping a small piece of meat into the pan; it should sizzle immediately.

  2. 4

    Sear the Steaks

    Add the seasoned ribeye steaks to the hot pan. Sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them. This will create a nice crust.

  3. 5

    Flip and Add Aromatics

    Flip the steaks over and add the garlic cloves and rosemary to the pan. Cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.

  4. 6

    Baste the Steaks

    Tilt the pan slightly, and using a spoon, baste the steaks with the olive oil and rendered fat in the pan. This adds flavor and keeps the meat moist.

  5. 7

    Rest the Steaks

    Remove the ribeye steaks from the pan and place them on a cutting board. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
