Ingredients
- 1 lb. ribeye steak preferably 1 ½” thick
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon ghee or clarified butter
Instructions
- Warm your cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- While the skillet preheats, season your steak with salt and pepper.
- When the pan is screaming hot, place the steak in the middle of the hot skillet dry. DO NOT add the ghee yet.
- Cook for 5 minutes, then flip using a pair of tongs. Add a dollop of ghee to the top.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until it’s within 10 degrees of your ideal internal temperature because it will continue to cook when you remove it from the cast iron skillet.
- Remove from the skillet, and transfer to a plate. Cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes. This is important to redistribute the juices of the steak. If you cut it too early, all the juices will run out!
- When the steak has rested for the appropriate amount of time, slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a 1” steak, I found that 5 minutes on the first side and then 2 minutes on the second side produced a perfect medium rare steak.
- What temperature should my steak be?
- Please note that the steak will continue cooking after it comes out of the skillet, so remove it when the temperature is within 10 degrees of your ideal temperature.
- How do I take my steak’s temperature?Use a digital meat thermometer to make your job easy. Nobody likes guessing when it comes to steak, and guessing incorrectly could lead to overcooked meat, which is the saddest!
- To take your steak’s temperature, poke the thermometer’s tip into the center of the steak. Be careful not to push it all the way through the other side.
- Let the thermometer tell you what the temperature is, and then transfer the steak to a plate and cover if it’s within 5-10 degrees of your ideal temperature or pop it back into the skillet for a little more time if you want it more cooked through.
- Rare (cool red center: 125F
