1
Season the Steak
Generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with kosher salt and black pepper. Make sure to coat evenly for maximum flavor.
2
Bring to Room Temperature
Let the seasoned steaks sit at room temperature for about 30 to 45 minutes before cooking. This helps them cook more evenly.

3
Heat the Pan
Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat until it begins to smoke slightly. This ensures a good sear on the steak.
4
Add Olive Oil
Add olive oil to the hot skillet, swirling it around to coat the bottom of the pan.
5
Sear the Steak
Place the ribeye steaks in the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them. This develops a nice crust.
6
Flip and Add Aromatics (Optional)
Flip the steaks over and add optional ingredients such as fresh rosemary, garlic cloves, and butter to the pan. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting the steaks with the melted butter.
7
Check Internal Temperature
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Aim for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
8
Rest the Steak
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
