Here’s a simple, classic way to prepare a ribeye steak using just a few ingredients 🥩✨
🥩 Ribeye Steak with Sea Salt Flakes
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 1–2)
- 1 ribeye steak (rib steak), about 10–12 oz (280–340 g)
- Sea salt flakes, to taste
- Optional: freshly ground black pepper, butter, garlic, or fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Bring Steak to Room Temperature
- Remove steak from fridge 30–60 minutes before cooking for even cooking.
2️⃣ Season
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels.
- Generously sprinkle sea salt flakes on both sides.
- Optional: add freshly ground black pepper.
3️⃣ Preheat Pan or Grill
- Heat a heavy skillet or grill to high heat until very hot.
4️⃣ Cook Steak
- For medium-rare:
- Sear 3–4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness).
- Adjust time for desired doneness.
5️⃣ Optional Flavor Boost
- In the last minute of cooking, add a knob of butter, crushed garlic, and herbs to the pan. Spoon melted butter over the steak.
6️⃣ Rest the Steak
- Let it rest 5–10 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
7️⃣ Serve
- Slice against the grain and sprinkle extra sea salt flakes if desired.
🔥 Tips
- Use a cast-iron skillet for a perfect sear.
- Avoid moving the steak around while cooking — let it form a crust.
- Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
