Skillet Ribeye Steaks Recipe

Ingridients :

• 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Optional: minced garlic, fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme)

Instructions:

1. Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps them cook more evenly.
2. Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering but not smoking.
4. Carefully place the steaks in the skillet. Cook without moving them for about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, depending on thickness and desired doneness. If you prefer your steak more well-done, cook them for a bit longer.
5. Flip the steaks using a pair of tongs and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
6. Optional: During the last minute of cooking, add the butter to the skillet. As it melts, tilt the skillet slightly and spoon the melted butter over the steaks. You can also add minced garlic and fresh herbs at this point for extra flavor.
7. Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy steak.
8. Serve the ribeye steaks whole or slice them against the grain for serving. Enjoy!

This recipe yields deliciously juicy and flavorful ribeye steaks that are perfect for a special dinner at home.
