Best Pan-Seared SteakMy family and I love steak for dinner - especially ribeye! Who doesn't love a good, juicy ribeye steak? One of my favorite ways to prepare steak is using this classic pan-searing method. It's a great method for controlling the internal temperature of the steak while giving it that perfect sear. All you need is a hot pan and your stove! The secret to the perfect pan-seared steak is getting an incredible sear on the outside. This locks in the flavor of the beef and adds the perfect texture to the steak. Because this is a ribeye, there is a higher fat content from the marbling (distribution of fat) in the steak. The high heat of the cast iron pan against the fat of the beef is what creates the perfect crust! Thanks to the fresh thyme, garlic, and melted butter, each bite of pan-seared ribeye is better than the last. There is nothing more impressive than bringing a large platter of perfectly cooked pan-seared ribeye steaks to the table with melting butter and fresh herbs sprinkled throughout.

Pan-Seared Ribeye Steak FAQsIs rib steak the same as rib eye steak? A rib steak is a beef steak sliced from the rib primal of a beef animal, with rib bone attached. In the United States, the term rib eye steak is used for a rib steak with the bone removed; however in some areas, and outside the U.S., the terms are often used interchangeably. Should I rest a ribeye steak? Let your ribeye steak rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing into it. Resting your steak reduces the amount of juices you lose when cutting into the meat. If you rest it long enough, your meat will retain these juices, and you'll bite into the tender, tasty, and incredibly juicy steak. How long do you sear a ribeye on each side? For this recipe, pan sear the steaks in a preheated cast iron skillet for 2 minutes on both sides. The steak is finished in the oven for the perfect temperature in the middle. What should I look for in a ribeye steak? Look at each steak carefully. If you want it to be juicy and tender for cooking on a cast iron, you want lots of little white flecks of fat in the meaty part (that's the marbling!). The flecks melt away during cooking, adding to the meat's flavor. You also want it to be an even thickness, and at least 1 inch thick. Is steak gluten-free? Ribeye steaks are naturally gluten-free, as is the rest of this recipe. Be mindful of the sides you serve if you or a guest are gluten intolerant.
