Bone-in (cowboy) Ribeye Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Generously season both sides of the ribeye with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Press the seasonings into the meat to adhere.

3. 3

   Heat the Pan

   In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Carefully place the steak in the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes without moving it to create a nice crust.

5. 5

   Flip and Add Butter

   Flip the steak using tongs. Add butter and rosemary to the pan. As the butter melts, use a spoon to baste the steak with the melted butter for an additional 4-5 minutes.

6. 6

   Check for Doneness

   Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 130°F (54°C).

7. 7

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

8. 8

   Serve

   Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately, drizzling with any remaining pan juices.
