easy Ribeye steak recipe

Here’s an easy and delicious recipe for cooking a Ribeye Steak:

Ingredients:

• 1 ribeye steak (about 1 inch thick)
• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil (or any cooking oil)
• Salt (to taste)
• Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
• 2-3 cloves of garlic (crushed or minced)
• 1-2 tablespoons butter
• Fresh herbs (optional: thyme, rosemary)

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
   • Remove the ribeye steak from the fridge and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
   • Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
2. Seasoning:
   • Rub both sides of the steak with olive oil.
   • Generously season with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
3. Cooking:
   • Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add a tablespoon of olive oil.
   • Place the steak in the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, without moving it, until a golden-brown crust forms.
   • Flip the steak and cook for another 3-5 minutes on the other side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it more done.
4. Adding Flavor:
   • In the last minute of cooking, add the butter, garlic, and fresh herbs (if using) to the pan.
   • Tilt the pan slightly and spoon the melted butter over the steak to add flavor.
5. Resting:
   • Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute inside the meat.
6. Serving:
   • Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy!
