Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pat dry the steaks with a paper towel on both sides and season generously with salt and pepper. 
  • Add about 2 tbsp of oil to a cast-iron skillet and heat over high heat for about 5 minutes. 
  • When the skillet begins to smoke, add the ribeye steak to the skillet, and don't touch it. Cook for 5 minutes then flip and cook for another 4 minutes for medium-rare. Using tongs, turn the steak on its side to sear the edges. About 20 seconds on each side. 
  • Transfer the steak to a plate and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes. The steak will continue to cook while it rests. 
  • Top the steak with garlic butter if desired and enjoy. 

Notes

  • Medium Rare: 145 degrees F. (Perfect IMO)
  • Medium: 155 degrees F.
  • Medium Well: 160 degrees F.
  • Well Done (no pink inside): 170 degrees F.
