Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribeye

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

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add minced garlic on both sides.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Place the ribeye steak in the hot pan. For a medium-rare steak, cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes. If using rosemary, add it to the pan for flavor.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice against the grain and serve immediately, optionally garnished with additional rosemary.
