garlic, and herbs.
Tilt the pan and spoon melted butter over the steak continuously for 1–2 minutes.
This technique adds richness and aroma.
Step 3: Finish in Oven
Transfer the skillet to the oven.
Ranges, Cooktops & Ovens
Cook until internal temperature reaches:
Rare: 120–125°F (50–52°C)
Medium Rare: 130–135°F (54–57°C) Best choice
Medium: 140–145°F (60–63°C)
Medium Well: 150°F (65°C)
Well Done: 160°F+ (70°C+)
Use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part.
Resting the Steak (Do NOT Skip)
After removing from heat, let the steak rest for 10 minutes.
Meat & Seafood
During cooking, juices move toward the center. Resting allows them to redistribute throughout the meat.
Cutting too early = dry steak.
Alternative Method: Grilling Over Charcoal
If you love smoky flavor, grilling is incredible for ribeye.
