Perfectly Oven Cooked Ribeye Steak Recipe

by

This recipe provides a simple yet effective method for cooking a delicious ribeye steak in the oven. Enjoy a juicy and flavorful steak with minimal effort.

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 bone-in ribeye steaks (about 1.5-2 inches thick)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Steak:
    • Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will ensure more even cooking.
    • Pat the steaks dry with paper towels.
    • Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Sear the Steak:
    • Heat a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron works best) over high heat.
    • Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
    • Once the oil is shimmering, sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, until a nice crust forms.
  3. Roast in the Oven:
    • Reduce heat to medium-high.
    • Add the butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet.
    • Tilt the skillet and spoon the melted butter over the steaks.
    • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (400°F/200°C).
    • Roast for 8-12 minutes for medium-rare, or longer for medium or well-done.
    • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature:
      • Medium-rare: 130-135°F (54-57°C)
      • Medium: 135-140°F (57-60°C)
      • Medium-well: 140-145°F (60-63°C)
  4. Rest and Serve:
    • Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the skillet from the oven and let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
    • Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled asparagus, or a simple salad.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, marinate the steaks in a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices for a few hours or overnight.
  • If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, you can sear the steaks in a regular skillet and then transfer them to a baking sheet for roasting.
  • Adjust cooking times based on the thickness of your steaks.

Enjoy your perfectly cooked ribeye steak!
