Ribeye Steak Ingredients:
Ribeye steak, kosher salt, pepper, butter
Ribeye Steak comes from the area between the rib and the loin. It is known for its high-fat content and marbling, which makes it a perfect choice for quick and high-temperature cooking. The fat cap on top of the ribeye steak serves to add flavor and moisture to the meat while cooking, making it incredibly tender and juicy.
Instructions:
- Remove the steak from the fridge and pat it dry with a paper towel.
- Season both sides of the steak with kosher salt and chopped pepper. Cover the steak and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
- Take out the steak and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour to bring it up to temperature. Clean off any excess salt and pepper with a paper towel.
- To ensure a perfect medium-rare steak, use a wireless meat thermometer and set it to your desired temperature (I usually go for 135°F).
- Preheat a pan and add olive oil, then place the steak in the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side.
- When you flip the steak, add a knob of butter to the top of the steak. As the butter melts, baste the steak with the butter to infuse it with flavor.
- Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes on a plate to allow the fibers to relax and reabsorb the juices.
- Slice the steak thinly and serve on top of the salad.
This recipe is simple, yet it delivers a mouth-watering and nutritious meal that you'll want to make again and again. So, fire up the pan and give this recipe a try. Your taste buds will thank you!
