Introduction:
Ribeye steak is one of the most beloved cuts of beef, known for its rich marbling, tenderness, and exceptional flavor. Whether you’re grilling, pan-searing, or roasting, a perfectly cooked ribeye can elevate any meal and is sure to impress guests or treat yourself to a special indulgence. The key to preparing a perfect ribeye steak lies in the balance of seasoning, cooking technique, and letting the natural flavors of the beef shine. In this guide, we’ll show you how to achieve a melt-in-your-mouth ribeye steak, cooked to perfection.
Ingredients:
1 or 2 ribeye steaks (1-inch thick, or thicker if preferred)
2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
Salt (preferably coarse kosher salt)
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, smashed
2-3 sprigs of fresh thyme (or rosemary)
Optional: 1 teaspoon steak seasoning or your favorite spice mix
Instructions:
Preparation: Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking. Allowing the meat to come to room temperature helps ensure even cooking. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture, which is essential for achieving a good sear.
Season the Steak: Generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. If you like, you can also apply a steak seasoning or your favorite dry rub at this point for added flavor.
