Introduction:
Treat yourself to a restaurant-quality ribeye steak right at home. With just a few ingredients and a hot skillet, this ribeye is seared to perfection—crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside. Perfect for a fast and hearty midday meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 boneless ribeye steak (about 1-inch thick)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: garlic cloves, rosemary, or thyme for basting
- Optional sides: simple salad, roasted veggies, or fries
Instructions:
- Bring to Room Temp:
Take the steak out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Pat it dry with paper towels for the best sear. - Season:
Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and black pepper. - Heat Skillet:
Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Add olive oil or butter. - Sear the Steak:
Place the steak in the pan and don’t move it for 2–3 minutes to develop a crust. Flip and sear the other side for another 2–3 minutes for medium-rare (adjust time for desired doneness). - Optional Basting:
Add a tablespoon of butter, a smashed garlic clove, and herbs to the pan. Tilt and spoon the melted butter over the steak for extra flavor during the last minute of cooking. - Rest & Serve:
Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite quick side.
Enjoy!!
