RIBEYE RECIPE IDEAS RECIPES

Steps:

• Remove steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit for about 30 minutes to take the chill out of the meat.
• Now, coat both sides generously with coarse black pepper and granulated garlic powder.
• Heat an iron skillet or a heavy bottomed frying pan until very hot on high heat.
• For each steak, sprinkle onto the skillet, 3/4 teaspoon of coarse salt and allow salt to heat up for at least 1 minute.
• Place the steaks on the coarse salt and cook for 3 minutes; DO NOT DISTURB at all, DO NOT LOOK or even move the steaks.
• Turn the steaks over and cook for an additional 3 minutes; again DO NOT DISTURB at all.
• The cooking time of 6 minutes gives you a medium-rare steak; DO NOT OVERCOOK.
• If you desire to cook it to medium, then cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.
• Remove steaks to a plate, cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes, so that all juices are absorbed by the meat.
• Scrape off any excess coarse pepper and salt if desired and discard.
• I prefer to slice the steaks on an angle about 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch thickness.
• Serve with freshly processed horseradish.
• NOTE; Make sure that the heat is on as HIGH as possible without burning at all times during cooking the steaks. This will vary depending on your cooktop.
• Do not use ordinary table salt.
• Beef Tenderloin steaks are also real great cooked in this manner. If using a steak thicker than 1 inch, add 1 extra minute per side for medium-rare.

Steps:

• On a plate, season steak generously with salt and pepper. Let sit up to 30 minutes to let steak come to room temperature. In a large cast-iron skillet over medium high, heat oil until very hot. Add steak and cook until a dark crust forms on the bottom side, about 6 to 7 minutes. Flip the steak and cook, undisturbed, 6 minutes more.  Reduce heat to medium low and add butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Continue cooking, using a spoon to baste the steak with the butter in the bottom of the pan and flipping the steak halfway through, until steak is medium-rare (about 120°), about 5 minutes more.  Remove steak to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.
