Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Bring the Steak to Room Temperature

    Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then generously season with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    If using a grill, preheat it to high heat. If using a skillet, heat it over medium-high heat until hot.

  2. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Place the ribeye steak on the grill or skillet. For medium-rare, cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving it. Flip the steak and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer to reach your preferred doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Optional Garnish

    If desired, during the last minute of cooking, add butter and a sprig of fresh rosemary to the skillet. Baste the steak with the melted butter for added flavor.

Resting and Serving

  1. 6

    Let the Steak Rest

    Remove the ribeye from the grill or skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent it loosely with foil and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute.

  2. 7

    Slice and Serve

    After resting, slice the steak against the grain and serve it hot. Enjoy your perfectly cooked center cut ribeye!
