Recipe:
1. Preheat your grill or skillet to high heat.
2. Season the rib-eye steaks with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, finely chopped fresh rosemary, and garlic powder on both sides. Ensure the steaks are at room temperature before cooking.
3. Drizzle the olive oil over the steaks and rub the seasonings into the meat, ensuring they are well coated.
4. For the grill method:
– Place the seasoned steaks on the hot grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness, adjusting the time based on your preferred level of doneness.
– Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
5. For the skillet method:
– Heat a heavy skillet over high heat. Add a bit of oil to the skillet to prevent sticking.
– Place the seasoned steaks in the hot skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness, adjusting the time to your liking.
– Add 1-2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet during the last minute of cooking. Tilt the skillet and baste the steaks with the melted butter, giving them extra flavor and richness.
– Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
6. Serve the deliciously cooked rib-eye steaks with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
