Last Updated on July 17, 2024 by Daily News Staff

Ribeye steak is a popular cut of beef that is known for its rich marbling and buttery texture. This steak is perfect for a special occasion or a weekend meal. However, cooking a ribeye steak can be tricky, and if not done correctly, it can result in a tough and chewy steak. In this article, we will share the best way to cook a ribeye steak and some side suggestions and beverages that will complement this delicious cut of beef.

Ingredients:

• 2 Ribeye steaks, about 1 inch thick
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons of butter

Instructions:

1. Remove the ribeye steaks from the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
3. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom.
4. Season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper.
5. When the skillet is hot, add the ribeye steaks to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side or until a brown crust forms.
6. Add minced garlic and fresh rosemary to the skillet and cook for an additional minute.
7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for 5-6 minutes for medium-rare, 6-7 minutes for medium, and 8-10 minutes for well-done.
8. Remove the skillet from the oven and add butter to the skillet. Baste the steaks with the butter and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Side Suggestions:

1. Roasted Vegetables – Roasted vegetables like asparagus, broccoli, or brussels sprouts, are the perfect side dish for ribeye steak. Simply toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
2. Creamy Mashed Potatoes – Creamy mashed potatoes are a classic side dish that pairs well with ribeye steak. Boil potatoes until they are tender, mash them with butter, milk, salt, and pepper, and enjoy.
3. Grilled Corn – Grilled corn is a delicious and easy side dish to make. Simply grill the corn on the cob with butter, salt, and pepper until it is charred and tender.

Beverage Suggestions:

1. Red Wine – Red wine is a classic pairing for ribeye steak. Choose a full-bodied red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec.
2. Beer – A cold beer is a refreshing beverage that pairs well with steak. Choose a dark beer like a porter or a stout for a rich and flavorful experience.
3. Iced Tea – Iced tea is a refreshing and non-alcoholic option that pairs well with steak. Add some lemon or mint to your iced tea for an extra burst of flavor.

In conclusion, cooking a ribeye steak takes some practice, but with the right technique, you can achieve a perfectly cooked and delicious steak. Pair your steak with some roasted vegetables, creamy mashed potatoes, or grilled corn, and enjoy it with a glass of red wine, beer, or iced tea. Happy cooking!
