Steak

Method
Preparing the Steak
- 1
Season the Steak
Take the ribeye steaks and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the seasoning to penetrate.
- 2
Heat the Pan
In a large cast-iron skillet or heavy frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it's shimmering but not smoking.
- 3
Sear the Steak
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the seasoned ribeye steaks into the pan. Sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time if you prefer a different doneness. During the last minute of cooking, add the crushed garlic cloves and fresh rosemary sprigs to the pan.

Baste the Steak
Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the hot oil and juices while they finish cooking. This adds flavor and keeps the meat moist.
- 5
Rest the Steak
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the pan and place them on a cutting board. Tent them loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing.
