Cast Iron Seared Ribeye Steak

 

 This is a simple and delicious recipe for ribeye steak cooked in a cast iron skillet. The steak is seared to perfection and then finished in the oven. It is served with a simple pan sauce made with butter, garlic, and herbs.

 

Ingredients:

 

1 (1-inch thick) bone-in ribeye steak

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves

Instructions:

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Season the steak with salt and pepper.

Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the steak to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned.

Transfer the steak to a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until desired doneness.

Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat.

Add the garlic, thyme, and rosemary and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Pour the pan sauce over the steak and serve.

Tips:

 

Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. It should be 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for medium-rare.

If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular skillet.

You can add other herbs to the pan sauce, such as parsley or oregano.

Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Enjoy!

 

Here are some additional tips for cooking ribeye steak in a cast iron skillet:

 

Let the steak come to room temperature before cooking. This will help it cook more evenly.

Use a sharp knife to cut the steak against the grain. This will make it more tender.

Don't overcrowd the skillet. Cook the steaks in batches if necessary.

Rest the steak for 5 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute.
