1
Prepare the Steak
Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps the meat cook more evenly.
2
Season the Steak
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of each steak with olive oil, then season generously with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Sprinkle the fresh rosemary over both sides of the steaks.

3
Preheat the Pan
Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until it’s hot. You can test the heat by dropping a small amount of water into the pan; it should sizzle immediately.
4
Sear the Steak
Once the pan is hot, add the ribeye steaks to the pan. Sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to get a nice crust.
5
Flip the Steak
After 4-5 minutes, flip the steaks using tongs. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer a different doneness.
6
Add Optional Ingredients
If using, add butter and fresh thyme to the pan in the last minute of cooking. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks to enhance flavor.
7
Rest the Steak
Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes, loosely covered with foil. This allows the juices to redistribute.

8
Slice and Serve
After resting, slice the ribeye against the grain and serve with your choice of sides.
