Homemade Ribeye Steak Recipe

Take the ribeye steak out of the fridge and let it rest at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking throughout.

Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the steak sear properly.

Season generously with sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.

Heat the Pan:

Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. You want the pan to be hot to achieve a good sear on the steak.

Once the pan is hot, add the butter and let it melt completely.

Cook the Steak:

Add the ribeye steak to the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it. This allows the steak to form a golden, crispy crust.

Flip the steak and add the sprigs of thyme to the pan. Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer for your desired level of doneness.

While the steak cooks, use a spoon to baste the steak with the melted butter and thyme, spooning the butter over the top of the steak as it cooks. This adds flavor and moisture.

Rest the Steak:

Once the steak reaches your preferred doneness, remove it from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it juicy and tender.

Serve:

Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately. The ribeye steak can be enjoyed on its own or paired with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
