Skip going out to the steakhouse—it's easier than you may think to make a perfectly-cooked, well-seasoned ribeye right at home. Rich, juicy and extra-flavorful, ribeye is a great choice when you're looking for a homemade steak dinner to impress. Follow our tips & tricks for perfecting your ribeye right at home, and you just might have the most special Valentine's Day dinner or date night-in yet.
Top tips for perfect ribeye steak at home:
—Let the steak sit for 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the meat to come to room temperature and therefore cook more evenly.
— Get the pan HOT. For a proper, caramelized sear, you need the oil and the skillet to be extremely hot. If you don't hear an intense sizzle immediately after adding the steak, take it out and let the pan heat for longer!
—Baste the steak with butter during the last 5 minutes of cooking.Butter will burn if you add it sooner this. This just the right amount of time for it to get brown and nutty.
Can I cook my ribeye steak another way?
Technically, you can. Searing your steak before throwing it in the oven, or roasting it first then searing before serving both work, but to be completely honest, we find adding a different cooking method unnecessary.
What do I serve with ribeye?
When it comes to steak pairings, your options are endless. Any form of potato is always a great idea, but we especially love a perfect baked potato or some creamy mashed potatoes. You could also go with these garlic butter mushrooms or a simple arugula salad, or check out one of our favorite steakhouse sides.

Directions
- Step 1On a plate, season steak generously with salt and pepper. Let sit up to 30 minutes to let steak come to room temperature.
- Step 2In a large cast-iron skillet over medium high, heat oil until very hot. Add steak and cook until a dark crust forms on the bottom side, about 6 to 7 minutes.
- Step 3Flip the steak and cook, undisturbed, 6 minutes more.
- Step 4Reduce heat to medium low and add butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Continue cooking, using a spoon to baste the steak with the butter in the bottom of the pan and flipping the steak halfway through, until steak is medium-rare (about 120°), about 5 minutes more.
- Step 5Remove steak to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.
