Cooking

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps the meat to cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped fresh rosemary. Make sure to rub the seasoning into the meat for maximum flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but is not smoking.

  2. 4

    Sear the Steaks

    Carefully add the seasoned ribeye steaks to the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes without moving them, until a nice crust forms on the bottom.

  3. 5

    Flip the Steaks

    Using tongs, flip the steaks over and add the butter to the pan. As the butter melts, baste the steaks by spooning the melted butter over the top. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.

  4. 6

    Check Doneness

    Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, the temperature should read about 130°F (54°C). Adjust cooking time if you prefer your steak more or less done.

  5. 7

    Rest the Steaks

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on a cutting board. Tent them with aluminum foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 8

    Slice and Serve

    After resting, slice the ribeye against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly cooked ribeye steak!
