Ribeye Steak Recipe
There are few meals as satisfying as a perfectly cooked ribeye steak. Known for its rich marbling, tenderness, and deep, savory flavor, ribeye is a cut that can easily steal the show at any dinner table. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or a beginner in the kitchen, this recipe will guide you through every step to ensure you end up with a steak that’s cooked to perfection — juicy, flavorful, and beautifully seared.
The key to a great ribeye is simplicity. It’s not about fancy marinades or complicated techniques; rather, it’s about respecting the natural flavors of the meat and allowing them to shine. The combination of a generous seasoning with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, along with the richness of butter, garlic, and thyme, creates a mouthwatering crust and an irresistibly tender interior.
In this recipe, we’ll walk you through how to bring out the best in your ribeye. From allowing the steak to come to room temperature (a small but essential step for even cooking) to the final resting time that helps preserve its juicy tenderness, every moment of this cooking process contributes to the final result. And while you can always adjust the cooking time for your preferred level of doneness, using a meat thermometer will take the guesswork out and ensure a perfect steak every time.
Ingredients:
1 ribeye steak.
Sea salt flakes.
Freshly ground black pepper.
50g butter.
2 sprigs of fresh thyme.
1 garlic clove (crushed, with skin on).
Instructions:
Step 1
Remove the ribeye steak from the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
Step 2
Generously season both sides of the steak with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 3
Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 4
If cooking two steaks, ensure the pan is large enough to fit them comfortably.
Step 5
Otherwise, use two pans and heat them simultaneously.
Step 6
Add the steak to the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, adjusting based on thickness and desired doneness.
Step 7
For a 3cm thick steak, aim for about 5 minutes total. If using a meat thermometer, target:
Rare: 50°C
Medium: 60°C
Well-done: 70°C
Step 8
Once you flip the steak, add the butter, thyme, and crushed garlic to the pan.
Step 9
Tilt the pan to collect the butter, then spoon it over the steak repeatedly for about 1 minute to enhance flavor.
