Cookin' Ribeyes
There are many ways to cook a ribeye steak, but the best way will depend on your personal preferences and the equipment available to you. Here are a few popular methods:
Grilling: Preheat your grill to high heat. Rub your ribeye steak with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the steak on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for a medium-rare steak, or adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of doneness. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Pan-searing: Heat a skillet over high heat. Rub your ribeye steak with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the steak in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for a medium-rare steak, or adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of doneness. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Sous-vide: Preheat a sous-vide immersion circulator to your desired temperature (130°F for medium-rare). Season your ribeye steak with salt and pepper, then seal it in a plastic bag using a vacuum sealer. Place the bag in the preheated water bath and cook for 1-2 hours, depending on the thickness of the steak. Once cooked, remove the steak from the bag and pat it dry. Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the steak for 1-2 minutes per side, or until a crust forms.
No matter which method you choose, be sure to let your ribeye steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
