This simple yet flavourful ribeye recipe is perfect for steak lovers who appreciate quality and easy-to-follow instructions. The combination of garlic, fresh herbs, and a perfectly seared ribeye creates a juicy, mouth-watering steak that will impress family and friends. Whether you're firing up the grill or cooking indoors, this recipe delivers rich, savoury flavours.
Prepare the Herb Rub:
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper to create a fragrant herb mixture.
Season the Ribeyes:
Rub the herb mixture generously over both sides of each ribeye steak. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking to allow the flavours to infuse and the meat to come to temperature.
Preheat the Grill or Pan:
If using a grill, preheat to high heat. For indoor cooking, heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
Cook the Steaks:
Grill or sear the ribeyes for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your preferred doneness is reached (medium-rare is 57°C). If cooking in a pan, add a tablespoon of butter towards the end of cooking and baste the steaks with the melted butter for extra flavour.
Rest the Steaks:
Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, transfer them to a plate and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more tender and juicy steak.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the ribeye steaks hot, with your choice of sides like roasted vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
This dish pairs perfectly with grilled vegetables, baked kumara, or a classic potato salad. For an extra touch of freshness, serve with a chimichurri sauce or a light green salad.
