A simple and reliable steakhouse-quality ribeye recipe that delivers juicy, tender, and flavorful steaks with minimal fuss, perfect for a special dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Ribeye Steaks (about 12 oz / 340g each), well-marbled, bone-in or boneless
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (or high-smoke point oil like avocado oil)
  • 2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary or Thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring the ribeye steaks to room temperature by resting them on the counter for 20-30 minutes.
  2. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
  3. Season both sides evenly with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder just before cooking.
  4. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Heat until the pan is smoking hot.
  5. Place the steaks in the hot skillet and sear without moving for 3-4 minutes until a deep brown crust forms.
  6. Flip the steaks using tongs and sear the other side for 3-4 minutes.
  7. Add butter and fresh rosemary or thyme to the skillet. Tilt the pan and baste the steaks repeatedly with melted butter and herbs for 2-3 minutes until the steak reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare or 135°F (57°C) for medium.
  8. Transfer the steaks to a plate, tent loosely with foil, and rest for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute before serving.

Notes

Resting the steak for 10 minutes after cooking is crucial for juicy results. Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking. Pat steaks dry before seasoning to ensure a crispy crust. Butter basting adds flavor and moisture but can be substituted with oil for dairy-free option.
