Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Ensure an even coat for maximum flavor.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Pan

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Steak

    Once the oil is hot, carefully place the seasoned ribeye steaks in the pan. Sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to develop a crust.

  2. 4

    Flip and Continue Cooking

    Flip the steaks using tongs and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if desired for more doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Butter and Rosemary

    If desired, add butter and rosemary sprigs to the pan during the last minute of cooking. Use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the steaks for added flavor.

Resting and Serving

  1. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the ribeye steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with the pan drippings, if desired. Enjoy your classic ribeye steak!
