Ribeye Steak Recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 1 (24-ounce) 2-inch-thick rib-eye steak, at room temperature
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary

Directions:

  1. Using paper towels, pat the sides of the steak dry. Generously season with 1 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  2. Warmth a medium cast-iron frying pan on medium-high heat until very hot, about 2-3 minutes. Add canola oil.
  3. Place the steak in the center of the skillet and cook, turning every 2-3 minutes, until a dark crust forms on both sides, about 12-14 minutes.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Push the steak to one side of the pan. Add the butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the opposite side of the skillet, tilting the pan toward the butter. Cook until the butter is frothy, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  5. Working with caution, pour the butter over the steak for 1-2 minutes, turning it over once, until the internal temperature reaches 120 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, or until the desired softness. Allow it to rest for 16 minutes prior to cutting.
  6. Serve the ribeye steak whole or sliced, accompanied by your favorite side dishes.

Additional Tips:

  • For a more flavorful steak, consider marinating it in a mixture of olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before cooking.
  • Letting the steak rest after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product.
  • Serve the ribeye steak with classic sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad for a well-rounded meal.

Nutritional Information:

  • Ribeye steak is a rich source of protein, iron, and other essential nutrients, making it a satisfying and nutritious choice for a meal. However, it is also high in saturated fat and calories, so it’s best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Presentation Tips:

  • Garnish the cooked ribeye steak with fresh herbs, such as chopped parsley or chives, to add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
  • Serve the steak on a warm platter or cutting board to keep it hot and juicy until ready to serve.

Variations:

  • Customize the flavor of the ribeye steak by seasoning it with your favorite herbs and spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper, before cooking.
  • For a smoky flavor, cook the steak on a grill instead of in a skillet, and add wood chips or chunks to the fire for extra flavor.
  • Experiment with different cooking methods, such as sous vide or reverse-searing, to achieve the perfect level of doneness and tenderness.

Storage Tips:

  • Store any leftover cooked ribeye steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat it gently in a skillet or oven until warmed through before serving.
  • Alternatively, you can slice the leftover steak thinly and use it to make sandwiches, salads, or stir-fries for quick and easy meals throughout the week.

Pairing Suggestions:

  • Pair the ribeye steak with a full-bodied red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, to complement its rich flavor and texture.
  • Serve the steak with classic steakhouse sides like mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, or grilled asparagus for a complete and satisfying meal.

Special Occasion Ideas:

  • Impress your guests by serving the ribeye steak as part of an elegant dinner party menu, alongside gourmet appetizers and decadent desserts.
  • Host a backyard barbecue and grill the ribeye steak to perfection for a casual and festive gathering with family and friends.

With these additional tips and suggestions, you can enhance the presentation, flavor, and overall dining experience of your ribeye steak recipe, making it a standout dish that’s sure to impress. Enjoy!
