How To Make Ribeye Steak
- Take the steak out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. This ensures even cooking.
- Generously season the steak with salt and pepper on both sides to ensure even coverage.
- Heat a frying pan (or two if cooking more than one steak) over medium-high heat. Add the steak to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. For a 3cm steak, cook for 5 minutes total.
- If using a meat thermometer, aim for an internal temperature of 50°C for rare, 60°C for medium, and 70°C for well-done.
- After flipping the steak for the first time, add butter, thyme, and garlic to the pan. Stir for 1 minute, basting the steak by tilting the pan and spooning the melted butter over the steak.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Resting is essential to allow the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat juicy and tender.
- Slice the steak into strips, season again if necessary, and serve with your favorite side dishes and sauce.
