Ribeye Steak By The Ounce Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Preparation of the Steak

   Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help in even cooking.

2. 2

   Seasoning the Steak

   Generously season both sides of the ribeye steak with salt and black pepper. Make sure to rub the seasoning into the meat for better flavor.

3. 3

   Preheating the Pan

   Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the pan and allow it to heat until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Cooking the Steak

   Place the seasoned ribeye steak into the hot pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it. This will create a beautiful crust.

5. 5

   Flipping the Steak

   Using tongs, carefully flip the steak to the other side. Add fresh rosemary and crushed garlic cloves to the pan. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, depending on thickness.

6. 6

   Checking for 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 according to your desired doneness.

7. 7

   Resting the Steak

   Remove the steak from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Tent it with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

8. 8

   Slicing and Serving

   Slice the ribeye steak against the grain into desired thickness and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly cooked ribeye steak!
