Ingredients for Ribeye steak

  • 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)

  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary

How to Make Ribeye steak Step by Step

  1. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature. This step ensures even cooking throughout.
  2. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. This helps create a flavorful crust.
  3. Heat a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, over high heat until very hot. Add olive oil and let it shimmer. Carefully place the steaks in the pan without overcrowding.
  4. Sear the steaks for about 3 to 4 minutes on one side without moving them. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust time depending on your desired doneness.
  5. Reduce heat to medium and add butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks continuously for about 1 to 2 minutes to enhance flavor.
  6. Remove the Ribeye steak from the pan and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This step locks in juices and ensures maximum tenderness.
