🥩🔥 Perfect Ribeye Steak: Juicy, Flavorful, and Sear-Perfect Every Time

👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Steaks

Remove steaks from the fridge and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Pat dry with paper towels.
Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. Preheat Your Pan or Grill

Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron preferred) over high heat or preheat your grill to high.
Add olive oil if using a skillet.

3. Sear the Steaks

Place steaks in the hot pan or on the grill.
Cook 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust time for desired doneness).
Do not move steaks while searing to develop a rich crust.

4. Add Aromatics

During the last 1–2 minutes, add smashed garlic, rosemary, and butter to the pan.
Tilt the pan slightly and spoon melted butter over the steaks for added flavor.

5. Rest the Steaks

Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5–10 minutes.
This allows juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender and juicy.

6. Serve

Slice against the grain or serve whole.
Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad for a classic steak dinner.
