Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Remove the ribeye from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Seasoning

    Generously season both sides of the ribeye steak with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub the seasonings into the meat for better flavor absorption.

  3. 3

    Searing

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering. Place the ribeye on the skillet or grill and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time for desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Adding Herbs

    In the last minute of cooking, add fresh rosemary to the skillet or grill for aromatic flavor. Baste the steak with the oil and herbs using a spoon.

  5. 5

    Resting

    Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the ribeye from the heat and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  6. 6

    Serving

    Slice the ribeye against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly cooked USDA Prime Ribeye!
