Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Steak

Take the ribeye steak out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30-45 minutes. This ensures even cooking.

2

Season the Steak

Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, making sure to cover the entire surface.

3

Preheat the Pan

In a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it's shimmering but not smoking.

4

Sear the Steak

Carefully place the seasoned ribeye steak in the hot skillet. Do not move it around; let it sear for about 4-5 minutes on the first side until a nice crust forms.

5

Flip the Steak

Using tongs, flip the steak to the other side. If using garlic and rosemary, add them to the pan now. Sear for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness.

6

Check Doneness

Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should read 130-135°F (54-57°C). Adjust cooking time as needed based on your desired doneness.

7

Rest the Steak

Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

8

Slice and Serve

After resting, slice the steak against the grain into desired thickness and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly cooked ribeye steak!
