1
Preparing the Steak
Remove the Wagyu ribeye cap steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps in achieving an even cook.
2
Seasoning the Steak
Generously season both sides of the steaks with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Ensure an even coating for maximum flavor.

3
Preheating the Pan
Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.
4
Searing the Steak
Carefully place the seasoned steaks in the hot pan. Sear for about 3-4 minutes without moving them, until a nice crust forms.
5
Flipping the Steak
Using tongs, flip the steaks over and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time based on your desired doneness.
6
Adding Flavor
Optional: In the last minute of cooking, add butter, smashed garlic cloves, and fresh rosemary to the pan. Baste the steaks with the melted butter for extra flavor.
7
Resting the Steak
Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

8
Slicing and Serving
Slice the rested steaks against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly cooked Wagyu ribeye cap steak!
