Juicy Ribeye Steak Recipe
Steak is widely known for being very tasty, but ribeye stands out as a particularly juicy and flavorful choice. It’s a versatile cut that’s easy to prepare and perfect for various occasions, from family dinners to romantic evenings. Here’s a simple yet effective way to cook ribeye steak to perfection.
Ingredients:
- 2 ribeye steaks, around 200g each and roughly 2 cm thick
- 1 tbsp (25 grams) butter
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
- 1 garlic clove
- Thyme (optional)
Instructions:
- Preparation:
- About 8 hours before cooking, pat the steaks dry with paper towels.
- Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Cooking:
- Heat the oil in a skillet over high flame until shimmering.
- Lower the heat to medium-high and add the butter.
- Once the butter melts and starts to sizzle, add the steaks to the pan.
- Optionally, add a garlic clove and thyme for extra flavor.
- Cooking Time:
- Turn the steaks every minute or so to ensure even cooking and develop a nice brown crust.
- For well-done, cook for 8-10 minutes; for rare, cook for about 4 minutes.
- Use a meat thermometer for best results: 70°C for well-done, 60°C for medium, and 50°C for rare.
- Resting:
- After cooking, let the steaks rest for a few minutes.
- Consider adding a red wine sauce or your favorite topping for extra flavor.
Tips:
- Select a Thick Cut: Choose ribeye steaks with plenty of marbling for a juicier texture and richer flavor.
- Proper Seasoning: Generous seasoning helps create a delicious crust.
- Avoid Prodding: Let the steak caramelize without moving it around too much.
Storage Tips:
- Refrigerator: Store leftover steak in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. It will stay good for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: For longer storage, wrap the steak in plastic or aluminum wrap and place it in an airtight container. It can be frozen for up to 50 days.
Reheating:
- Thawing: Defrost the steak in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Reheat: Warm in an iron skillet over medium heat until the internal temperature reaches 130°C.
Enjoy the rich, flavorful taste of perfectly cooked ribeye steak with minimal effort and maximum taste!
