Time 2h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 large bone-in rib-eyes, at room temperature
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons canola or grapeseed oil
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
  • Season all sides of the rib-eyes liberally with salt and pepper. Place on wire rack-lined baking sheet. Bake until the desired internal temperature is reached, 105 degrees F for rare, 115 for medium rare and 125 for medium, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. When the rib-eyes come out of the oven, tent loosely with aluminum foil while preheating the skillet.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then sear the steaks on the first side for about a minute. Flip the steaks and add the butter to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, continue to cook the steaks, continuously basting with the melted butter, until seared on the second side, about 45 seconds. Sear the fat cap as well to crisp up, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Slice and serve immediately, spooning the pan juices over each slice. There is no need to rest the meat with the reverse sear method.

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality ribeye steak: Look for a steak with good marbling, which will help keep it juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season the steak generously with salt and pepper: This will help enhance the natural flavor of the meat.
  • Let the steak rest before cooking: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more evenly cooked and tender steak.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Use a thermometer to ensure the steak is cooked to your desired doneness: The internal temperature of the steak should be 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, and 160°F for well-done.
  • Let the steak rest after cooking: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
