Here’s a simple, flavorful way to cook a rib steak—juicy, tender, and full of beefy flavor:
🥩 Perfect Rib Steak
🧾 Ingredients:
- 1–2 rib steaks (about 1–1.5 inches thick)
- 1–2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 2–3 garlic cloves (crushed)
- Optional: fresh rosemary or thyme
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Bring to room temperature
- Take rib steak out of the fridge 30–45 minutes before cooking. Pat dry.
- Season
- Rub both sides with salt and black pepper. Optionally, add crushed garlic and herbs.
- Pan-sear or grill
- Pan-sear: Heat olive oil or butter in a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
- Sear steak 3–5 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust time for thickness and doneness).
- Spoon melted butter and garlic over the steak while cooking.
- Grill: Preheat grill to high. Grill steak 4–6 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Pan-sear: Heat olive oil or butter in a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
- Rest
- Remove steak, cover loosely with foil, and rest 5–10 minutes to let juices redistribute.
- Serve
- Slice against the grain and serve with your choice of sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
🔥 Tips:
- Check doneness: Use a meat thermometer:
- Rare: 50°C (122°F)
- Medium-rare: 55°C (130°F)
- Medium: 60°C (140°F)
- Well done: 70°C (160°F)
- Extra flavor: Marinate with olive oil, garlic, and herbs for 1–2 hours before cooking.
- Resting is key: Never skip resting; it keeps the steak juicy.
I can also give you a Crockpot rib steak version or a garlic butter oven-baked rib steak that’s extra tender and flavorful.
