GREEK-STYLE RIBEYE STEAKS
Because our children are grown, I often cook for just my husband and me. When I want to serve something special, this is the entree I usually reach for. Seasonings, black olives and feta cheese give steak great flavor. -Ruby Williams, Bogalusa, Louisiana

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients; rub onto both sides of steaks. In a large skillet, cook steaks in oil for 7-9 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Sprinkle with lemon juice, cheese and olives. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Place a 10-to-12-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven and heat the oven to 500 degrees F. Bring the steak to room temperature.
- When the oven reaches temperature, remove the skillet and place on the range over high heat for 5 minutes. Coat the steak lightly with oil and sprinkle both sides with a generous pinch of salt. Grind on black pepper.
- Immediately place the steak in the middle of the hot, dry skillet. Cook 30 seconds without moving. Turn with tongs and cook another 30 seconds, then put the pan straight into the oven for 2 minutes. Flip the steak and cook for another 2 minutes. (This time is for medium-rare steak. If you prefer medium, add a minute to both of the oven turns.)
- Remove the steak from the skillet, cover loosely with foil and rest for 2 minutes. Serve whole or slice thin and fan onto plate.
GRECIAN SKILLET RIB EYES
I found this recipe at Myrecipes.com, which is a site for several cooking magazines including Souther Living, which this one is from. Untried by me as of yet, posting for ZWT6. You'll find that this olive-feta-herb topping works great on chicken and lamb too.

Steps:
- Combine first 5 ingredients; rub onto all sides of steaks.
- Pour oil into a large nonstick skillet; place over medium heat until hot. Add steaks, and cook 10 to 14 minutes or to desired degree of doneness, turning once. Sprinkle with lemon juice; top with cheese and olives.
- Note: I will probably grill the steak. I will brush each steak with olive oil and then rub both sides with the rub. Grill to your liking, then sprinkle with lemon juice, feta cheese and olives.
Tips:
- Use a heavy skillet or griddle for cooking the rib eyes. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
- Make sure the skillet is hot before adding the rib eyes. This will help to prevent the meat from sticking.
- Season the rib eyes generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Cook the rib eyes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Let the rib eyes rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.
- Serve the rib eyes with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
