This reverse-sear ribeye steak recipe delivers a tender, juicy interior with a flavorful crust, perfect for special occasions and easy enough for regular rotation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 thick-cut ribeye steak, about 1.5 to 2 inches thick (450-570g / approx. 1 to 1.25 lbs)
  • Kosher salt, coarse
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed (optional)
  • A few sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
  • Neutral cooking oil (such as grapeseed or canola oil)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. Season the ribeye generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides. Let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  3. Place the steak on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Roast in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 110°F (43°C) for medium-rare, about 20-30 minutes depending on thickness.
  4. While the steak is in the oven, heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until just starting to smoke. Add a thin layer of neutral oil to coat the bottom.
  5. Remove the steak from the oven and transfer it immediately to the hot skillet. Add butter, garlic, and herbs to the pan. Tilt the pan and baste the steak continuously with melted butter using a spoon.
  6. Sear the steak for about 1-2 minutes per side until a deep, caramelized crust forms.
  7. Check the internal temperature again; it should be about 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare. Adjust searing time if needed.
  8. Rest the steak on a cutting board for at least 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

Pat steak dry before searing to avoid steaming. Use a reliable instant-read thermometer for perfect doneness. Rest steak after seasoning and after cooking for juiciness. Avoid overcrowding the pan when searing multiple steaks. Butter and herb basting adds flavor and crust richness.
