Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with the spice mixture.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Heat a grill or a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it is very hot. If using a skillet, add olive oil and allow it to heat for a minute.

  2. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Place the seasoned ribeye steaks on the hot grill or skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until a nice crust forms. Use a meat thermometer to check for desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Optional - Add Aromatics

    If desired, during the last minute of cooking, add butter and fresh rosemary to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks for added flavor.

Resting

  1. 6

    Let the Steak Rest

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before slicing.

Serving

  1. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the ribeye steaks against the grain and serve immediately, optionally garnished with additional rosemary.
