Ribeye is the king of steaks. That marbling means flavor, and flavor means you don’t need fancy techniques. This is the fast version: hot pan, cold steak, aggressive seasoning, and a butter bath. Ten minutes. One dirty pan. Steakhouse results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Serves 1-2.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
1 ribeye steak (1 inch thick, about 12 oz)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 tablespoon high-smoke-point oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 tablespoons butter<\/li>\n\n\n\n
3 cloves garlic, smashed<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Salt and coarse black pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Dry and Season<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Pat steak completely dry with paper towels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Heat the Pan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Heat oil in a cast iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The pan must be screaming hot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Sear Hard<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Place steak in the pan. Press down gently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes until a dark crust forms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Butter Baste<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, garlic, and rosemary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Tilt pan and spoon butter over steak for 1 minute.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Rest and Slice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Transfer steak to a cutting board. Rest for 5 minutes (do not skip).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Slice against the grain. Pour pan juices over the top.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Prep Time:<\/strong> 2 minutes | Cook Time:<\/strong> 8 minutes | Total Time:<\/strong> 10 minutes (plus 5 min rest)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yield:<\/strong> 1-2 servings<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Difficulty:<\/strong> Easy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Storage Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Leftover ribeye keeps for 3 days. Reheat in a hot skillet for 1 minute per side or eat cold sliced over salad. Never microwave. Never freeze cooked steak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
