Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Perfectly Seasoned Ribeye Steak.
Step 1
Begin by generously seasoning both sides of each ribeye steak with half a teaspoon of Diamond Crystal kosher salt.
Step 2
For optimal flavor enhancement, place the seasoned steaks in an airtight container and refrigerate them for 48 hours.
Step 3
About 30 minutes before you plan to cook, take the steaks out of the fridge and allow them to reach room temperature.
Step 4
Next, sprinkle ground black pepper on both sides to add a touch of spice.
Step 5
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it’s sizzling hot, then pour in some vegetable oil and let it shimmer.
Step 6
Carefully lay the steaks in the skillet, searing them for 4 to 5 minutes until they develop a rich, brown crust on one side.
Step 7
Flip the steaks over and add a teaspoon of unsalted butter on top of each one.
Step 8
Continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until they reach your preferred doneness.
Step 9
If your skillet is small, you may need to cook the steaks in batches to ensure even cooking.
Step 10
Once they are perfectly cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate and keep them warm in an oven set to 170°F until you’re ready to serve.
Step 11
Enjoy the mouthwatering aroma and savor the delicious flavors of your perfectly cooked ribeye steaks.
