Perfect, Easy Ribeye Steak
Description
The recipe uses two 16-ounce ribeye steaks, seasoned simply with kosher salt and coarse black pepper. Butter heats in a cast iron skillet over high heat, where the steaks are seared for 3 minutes per side to develop a browned crust. Rosemary sprigs are added on top of the meat, and the butter is spooned over the steaks to infuse herb aroma and moisture. The skillet then transfers to a 500°F oven for 4-5 minutes to finish cooking. The steaks rest for five minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
This approach emphasizes direct heat for a crisp exterior and juicy center. Using butter and rosemary adds subtle herbal richness without overpowering the steak's flavor. The simplicity suits those wanting a straightforward method to prepare ribeye with depth and balance.
Ingredients
- 2 16- ounce ribeye steak 1 1/2 inch thick, plural
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper coarse ground

- Add the rosemary sprigs to the top of the steaks and spoon over the butter onto the steaks.
