EYE OF RIBEYE PEPPER STEAK RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat a 10-to-12-inch cast-iron skillet in a 500°F oven. Remove the rib eye out of the refrigerator, bring it to room temperature.
• Once the oven reaches 500°F, remove the skillet out of the oven and place it on the stove over high heat for 5 minutes. Lightly coat steak with oil and season both sides with a large pinch of salt and black pepper.
• Instantly lay the ribeye in the center of the hot skillet. Sear 30 seconds don’t move ribeye. Turn over the steak with tongs and sear an additional 30 seconds, then place the skillet straight forward into the oven for 2 minutes. Turn the ribeye over, cook for an additional 2 more minutes. (If you prefer medium cooked steak, you add a minute to each turn.)
• Place a pat of herb butter on top of ribeye, remove steak out from skillet, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 2 minutes as butter melts.

Steps:

• Up to 8 hrs before cooking, pat the steaks dry with kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil over a high flame in a heavy-based frying pan that will comfortably fit both steaks. When the oil is shimmering, turn the heat down to medium-high and add the butter. Once it’s sizzling, carefully lay the steaks in the pan, tucking the garlic and herbs in at the sides.
• Stand over the steaks with a pair of tongs, searing and turning them every 30 seconds to 1 min so they get a nice brown crust. As a rough guide, each steak will take 4 mins in total for rare, 5-6 mins in total for medium and 8-10 mins for well done. If you have a digital cooking thermometer, the temperatures you're looking for in middle of the steak are 50C for rare, 60C for medium and 70C for well done. Leave the steaks to rest for at least 5 mins. While the steaks are resting, you can make a classic red wine sauce to go with them.
