American Wagyu Ribeye Filet Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

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

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Generously season both sides of the filet with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Heat the Pan

   In a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron), heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Add the filet to the hot skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it.

5. 5

   Flip and Add Aromatics

   Flip the steak and add butter, crushed garlic, and thyme sprigs to the pan. Continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes, basting the steak with the melted butter.

6. 6

   Check for Doneness

   Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.

7. 7

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

8. 8

   Serve

   Slice the filet against the grain and serve with your choice of sides.
