Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the rib steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Press the seasoning into the meat to adhere.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Ensure the pan is hot before adding the steak.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Carefully place the rib steak in the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it, allowing a nice crust to form.

  5. 5

    Add Aromatics

    After flipping the steak, add crushed garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs to the pan. Spoon the hot oil over the steak for additional flavor.

  6. 6

    Check Doneness

    Cook the steak for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130-135°F). Adjust time according to your desired doneness.

  7. 7

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  8. 8

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the rib steak against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
