RIBEYE STEAK RECIPE
The Perfect Ribeye Steak without a grill is made in a cast iron skillet and basted with herbs and butter. Yep, I said in a pan! Plus if you don’t want to use herbs you can even just add salt and pepper and use my A1 Steak Sauce (Copycat)recipe.
Cast Iron Skillet Ribeye Steak only takes five minutes to actually cook. It will actually take you longer to get the oven preheated than to cook your meal.
What are the benefits of cooking in a cast iron skillet? The searing in butter is, let’s face it, pure flavor. Getting a good sear on the steak is essential to the flavor, then the oven finished the cooking process on an even heat.
Why not cook the steak completely in the skillet? If you were to cook the steak through in your skillet the direct heat would overcook the outside of the steak to the point of toughness. This would result in a less tender crust on the steak as well as it being much drier.
Why use a cast iron skillet? Cast Iron Skillets are great conductors of high, even heat. If using a thin skillet you could scorch the pan or the steak.
Look at the cook on the steak below:
This red center runs through most of the steak because of the even cooking of the indirect oven heat finishing off the cooking.
Why use a cast iron skillet? Cast Iron Skillets are great conductors of high, even heat. If using a thin skillet you could scorch the pan or the steak. They also are nonstick when heated properly so the steak won’t stick to the pan. Finally, they’re perfect for finishing a dish in the oven.
SOME TIPS/TRICKS FOR PICKING THE RIGHT RIBEYE STEAK:
• Ask your butcher for a cut from the center of the rack if possible. The bigger the deckle the more flavorful.
• The deckle is the chef’s cut of the whole cow. It is the rib cap that wraps around the top of the steak, over the center eye of the steak.
• Ask for a thick, 1 1/2 inch cut of steak. You want a good thick cut to give you time to sear your steak and finish in the oven without overcooking.
• Season with a Kosher salt or sea salt and coarse ground black pepper. Using table salt and black pepper is just not going to give you the same flavor and will actually taste too salty.
• Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Cut the meat against the grain as you can see in the picture above.
