For Serving

Method

Preparing the Steak

  1. 1

    Marinate (Optional)

    If you choose to marinate the steak, mix minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, and balsamic vinegar in a bowl. Rub this mixture over the ribeye steak and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a more intense flavor.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Remove the steak from the refrigerator. Pat it dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides of the ribeye with kosher salt and black pepper.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it is very hot, about 10 minutes.

  2. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Add olive oil to the hot grill or skillet. Place the ribeye steak on the grill or skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it.

  3. 5

    Flip and Cook

    Flip the steak using tongs and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your desired doneness.

  4. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from heat and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Serving the Steak

  1. 7

    Carve the Steak

    Carve the steak tableside into thick slices, presenting it beautifully on a platter.

  2. 8

    Garnish

    Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the sliced steak and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
