Wagyu Bone - In Ribeye Recipe

1. Remove the Wagyu ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps ensure even cooking throughout the steak.

2. Season both sides of the Wagyu ribeye steaks generously with salt and black pepper, pressing it into the meat to adhere.

3. Preheat the Skillet

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until it's very hot.

4. Add Oil

Add the vegetable oil to the hot skillet, swirling it to coat the bottom evenly.

5. Sear the Steaks

Carefully place the seasoned Wagyu ribeye steaks in the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms.

6. Flip the Steaks

Using tongs, flip the steaks over and add the optional garlic cloves and thyme to the skillet for added flavor. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.

7. Rest the Steaks

Once cooked to your preference, remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on a cutting board. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute.

8. Slice the Wagyu ribeye against the grain and serve immediately, optionally garnished with the cooked garlic and thyme from the skillet.
