Instead of rosemary, use 3-4 sprigs of fresh thyme for a slightly different aromatic flavor profile.
After removing the steaks to rest, deglaze the pan with a splash of red wine or beef broth. Scrape up the browned bits, let it reduce by half, and swirl in a final knob of butter for a quick, delicious sauce.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes along with the garlic and butter for a subtle kick of heat.
This method works beautifully for other thick-cut steaks like New York strip, sirloin, or T-bone. Adjust cooking time based on thickness.
Ribeye steak is packed with complete protein, containing all essential amino acids required for muscle repair, immune function, and building tissues in the body.
It provides a significant amount of heme iron, a form that is more easily absorbed by the body than iron from plant sources. Iron is crucial for forming hemoglobin, which transports oxygen in the blood.
Steak is a natural source of several B vitamins, especially Vitamin B12, which is vital for nerve function and the production of DNA and red blood cells. It also contains niacin, B6, and riboflavin.
A single serving of this Pan-Seared Ribeye Steak (one 12 oz steak) contains approximately 750-850 calories, primarily from the protein and fat in the steak and the added butter and oil.
Ribeye steak can be part of a healthy diet in moderation. It is an excellent source of high-quality protein, iron, and Vitamin B12. However, it is also high in saturated fat and cholesterol, so it should be consumed as part of a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
A cast-iron skillet is the best choice due to its ability to get very hot and retain that heat evenly, which is essential for creating a perfect crust. A heavy-bottomed stainless steel pan is a good alternative.
You can use the touch test. A rare steak feels soft like the fleshy part of your thumb, medium-rare feels slightly springy, and medium feels firm. However, for consistent and safe results, an instant-read thermometer is highly recommended.
When you cook meat, the muscle fibers tighten and push the juices toward the center. Resting allows the fibers to relax and the juices to redistribute throughout the steak. If you cut it too soon, all those flavorful juices will spill out onto your cutting board, leaving you with a dry steak.
Absolutely. This pan-searing and butter-basting method works well for any thick-cut steak (at least 1-inch thick), such as New York strip, T-bone, porterhouse, or a thick-cut sirloin.
