1
Prepare the Steak
Remove the Prime Angus Rib Eye Steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30-45 minutes before cooking. This helps the steak cook evenly.
2
Season the Steak
Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides of the steak with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Press the seasoning into the meat for better adherence.
3
Prepare the Garlic and Rosemary
Smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife, leaving the skins on. This will infuse flavor without burning the garlic. Prepare the fresh rosemary sprigs by gently bruising them to release their aromatic oils.

4
Heat the Pan
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. Let it become very hot, which will give the steak a nice sear.
5
Add Olive Oil
Once the pan is hot, add the olive oil and swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
6
Sear the Steak
Carefully place the seasoned rib eye steak in the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it, until a deep brown crust forms.
7
Flip and Add Aromatics
Flip the steak using tongs, then add the smashed garlic cloves and bruised rosemary sprigs to the pan. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting the steak with the oil and aromatics using a spoon.
8
Check for Doneness
Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should read 130°F (54°C). Adjust cooking time as needed for your desired doneness.
9
Rest the Steak
Once cooked to your liking, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
10
Slice and Serve
After resting, slice the steak against the grain and serve with the roasted garlic and rosemary drizzled over the top.
