Perfect Cast Iron Ribeye
Description
The Perfect Cast Iron Ribeye involves coating a 2-pound ribeye steak thickly with kosher salt and ground black pepper, then allowing it to rest for an hour to enhance seasoning absorption. A cast iron skillet is heated until nearly smoking, then a small amount of neutral oil is added before placing the steak in the pan. The ribeye is seared briefly and moved to prevent sticking, then cooked for several minutes per side to reach the desired doneness.
Resting the steak after cooking is a key step to prevent juice loss, ensuring a moist interior beneath the crispy crust formed by the high-heat sear. This method highlights the natural flavor and texture of the ribeye cut with minimal ingredients and technique.
