Usda Prime Ribeye Steak Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Preparing the Steak

   Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat them dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Seasoning

   Generously season both sides of the steaks with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

3. 3

   Searing the Steak

   Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, place the steaks in the pan. Sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them.

4. 4

   Flipping and Basting

   Flip the steaks and add the butter, rosemary, and crushed garlic to the pan. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, basting the steaks with the melted butter using a spoon.

5. 5

   Checking for Doneness

   Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 130°F (54°C).

6. 6

   Resting the Steaks

   Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

7. 7

   Serving

   Slice the steaks against the grain and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
