Usda Prime Steaks Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps ensure even cooking.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with kosher salt and black pepper. If using, add fresh rosemary on top of the steaks for extra flavor.

3. 3

   Preheat the Pan

   Heat a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat for about 5 minutes until it is very hot. Add olive oil to the pan and let it heat until shimmering.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Place the seasoned steaks in the hot pan and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time for your preferred doneness.

5. 5

   Rest and Serve

   Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
