Perfect Ribeye Steaks
Description
Perfect Ribeye Steaks require bringing the meat to room temperature before seasoning with olive oil and steak seasoning or salt and pepper. The steaks are grilled over medium heat, about 375°F, for about 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, slightly longer for medium. Alternatively, pan-searing in a hot cast iron for 2 minutes per side followed by roasting in a 400°F oven for 11-14 minutes achieves similar results.
The resting period with a pat of butter under loosely tented foil lets juices redistribute, preserving moisture and enhancing flavor. This technique ensures a tender, juicy steak with a brown crust exterior and pink interior. Timing should be adjusted slightly based on steak thickness.
The instructions note removing the steak from heat a few degrees before final temperature, as it continues to climb while resting. The FDA recommended minimum temperature is 145°F with a 3-minute rest. This allows safe consumption while keeping steaks juicy. Seasoning to taste and adjusting cook time allows customization.
Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steak 1-inch thick, plural
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil

Notes
- Use about 1 tablespoon of steak seasoning per pound of meat to balance flavor.
