Our Favorite Ways to Serve Our Sweetheart Ribeye

Season Properly Thirty minutes before cooking, pat the steak dry with paper towels and season liberally on all sides with kosher salt, then let it warm to room temperature. Avoid adding ground black pepper, steak seasoning or steak rubs until after the steak has been cooked—these spices will burn in the pan.

High Heat in a Heavy Pan Use your largest, heaviest pan, preferably cast iron. Preheat over high heat until the pan is slightly smoking. Add a teaspoon of high-heat cooking oil and carefully place the steak on the pan. It should sizzle immediately—if not, your pan is not hot enough! Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the surface is deep brown and the steak releases easily. Turn it over and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until desired internal temperature. Try topping with our Red Wine Mushroom Sauce recipe.

Use a Thermometer & Let It Rest An instant-read probe thermometer is every meat lover’s best friend. Rest the steak for at least 5 minutes before serving. Resting allows the juices to redistribute evenly throughout the steak.

Whether you choose to cook your steak indoors in a skillet or outdoors on the grill, here are a few tips to ensure a great entrée every time.
