Hey, food lovers! Today, we're going to master the art of cooking the perfect Ribeye Steak. This cut is known for its rich marbling and deep flavor, making it a favorite among steak enthusiasts. Let's dive into the details and get cooking!
Ingredients:
1 Ribeye steak (about 1.5 inches thick)
Salt (preferably coarse or kosher)
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
2 cloves of garlic, lightly crushed
A few sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
Olive oil
Tools:
Cast iron skillet
Tongs
Meat thermometer (optional but recommended)
Instructions:
Prep the Steak:
Take your Ribeye steak out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking. This is crucial for allowing the steak to cook evenly.
Season Generously:
Right before cooking, season your steak generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Don't be shy with the seasoning; a good crust is key for flavor.
Preheat Your Skillet:
Place your cast iron skillet on high heat and let it get screaming hot. A hot skillet ensures a beautiful sear that locks in those juicy flavors.
Sear the Steak:
Add a little olive oil to the skillet, then place your steak in. Let it sear undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes on one side. You're looking for a deep, golden-brown crust.
Flip the steak with tongs and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
Add Flavor:
Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter, garlic, and fresh herbs (if using) to the skillet. As the butter melts, tilt the pan slightly and spoon the butter over the steak repeatedly for about 2 minutes. This basting process adds incredible flavor and helps cook the steak evenly.
Check for Doneness:
Use a meat thermometer to check for your preferred level of doneness: 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, etc. Remember, the steak will continue to cook a bit after it's removed from the heat.
Rest the Steak:
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, ensuring every bite is succulent.
Serve:
Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness and serve immediately. Enjoy the rich, buttery flavors and the perfect texture of your Ribeye steak.
Closing:
There you have it, folks - the perfect Ribeye steak! Remember, it's all about the heat, the seasoning, and the patience to let it rest. Serve this up at your next dinner, and you're sure to impress.
