Steak

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Pat the ribeye steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Allow the steak to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking to enhance flavor and tenderness.

  2. 2

    Prepare Your Cooking Surface

    Heat a heavy skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering but not smoking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Place the ribeye steak in the hot skillet. For medium-rare, cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it. Flip the steak and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. Adjust the time if you prefer a different doneness.

  2. 4

    Add Aromatics

    In the last minute of cooking, add minced garlic and rosemary to the skillet. Spoon the oil and aromatics over the steak to infuse flavor.

Resting

  1. 5

    Let it Rest

    Remove the steak from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for at least 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

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