Perfectly Cooked Ribeye Steak: A Flavorful and Juicy Recipe

Instructions:

Bring to Room Temperature: Take the steak out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking throughout.

Season Generously: Right before cooking, coat both sides of the steak with sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper.

Preheat the Pan: Heat a heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium-high heat until it’s hot. Avoid overcrowding the pan if cooking multiple steaks.

Sear the Steak: Place the steak in the hot pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side. Adjust the time based on your desired doneness. For medium-rare, a 3cm-thick steak should cook for approximately 5 minutes total.

Add Aromatics: Once the steak is seared, add butter, thyme, and crushed garlic. Tilt the pan slightly and spoon the melted butter over the steak for about a minute to enhance flavor.

Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a warm plate for 5 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the steak tender and juicy.

Serve: Slice against the grain, season if needed, and serve with your favorite side dishes.

Cooking Temperatures for Perfect Doneness:

Rare: 50°C (122°F)

Medium Rare: 57°C (135°F)

Medium: 63°C (145°F)

Well Done: 70°C (158°F)

By following these steps, you can enjoy a perfectly cooked ribeye steak that’s full of flavor, tenderness, and richness. Serve it with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
