What Makes Rib Eye Steak So Special?
Beneath rib eye steaks’ softness, juiciness and richness lies a great deal of tenderness that is attributed to fat deposits that melt while the meat is being cooked. Because of this, it tastes so good that steak lovers adore it so much. We are lucky because all our rib eyes come from esteemed Midwestern farms at Rosebud Steakhouse. Every piece has been selected with a mastered practice in mind so that it can be enjoyed at its fullest flavor when sampled through all sections.
Cook Rib Eye Steak: Tips from Rosebud’s Chefs
At Rosebud Steakhouse, our chefs know how to cook the perfect rib eye steak, and we want to share our best tips with you. You can make a great rib eye by grilling, pan-searing, or using the oven.
Grilling: For a beautifully charred crust and a juicy center, grilling is a popular method. Start by preheating the grill to high heat. Sear the rib eye on both sides for 3-4 minutes to lock in flavor, then move it to a cooler part of the grill to cook to your desired doneness.
Pan-Searing: Chefs love pan-searing because it gives the steak a tasty, crispy crust and allows for precise cooking. Use a cast-iron skillet for best results, preheated to high heat with a bit of oil. Sear each side of the steak for 3-4 minutes, then finish by basting with butter and fresh herbs.
Oven Cooking: For a sure way to cook thicker steaks, first sear the rib eye in a hot pan, then put it in a 400°F oven for 6-8 minutes, or until it’s cooked just the way you like.
Rib Eye Steak Recipe: Cook the Perfect Rib Eye
Cooking a restaurant-quality rib eye steak at home is easier than you think with Rosebud’s tried-and-true method. Follow these steps to enjoy a perfect rib eye:
Ingredients:
1 rib eye steak (1 ½ – 2 inches thick)
Salt and pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Fresh thyme or rosemary
2 tbsp butter
Instructions:
Seasoning: Begin by generously seasoning both sides of the rib eye with coarse salt and freshly cracked pepper. Allow the steak to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Searing: Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, place the rib eye in the pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, undisturbed, to develop a golden-brown crust.
Basting: Lower the heat and add butter, garlic, and fresh herbs to the skillet. Continuously spoon the melted butter over the steak for added flavor.
Oven Finish (Optional): For thicker steaks, after searing, put the skillet in a 400°F oven and cook for 5-7 minutes for medium-rare, or until the steak reaches your preferred temperature.
Resting: Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to let the juices redistribute.
Pro Tip: Aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F for medium-rare perfection.
Enjoy your perfectly cooked rib eye, bringing a taste of Rosebud Steakhouse to your own dining table!
Pairing Rib Eye Steak: Best Sides and Wines
At Rosebud Steakhouse, the right sides and wines elevate the rib eye experience to new heights. Our chefs carefully craft each dish to complement the richness of the steak, offering a memorable dining experience.
Best Sides for Rib Eye Steak: The rib eye’s robust flavor pairs beautifully with rich and creamy sides like truffle mashed potatoes or grilled asparagus. For a lighter option, our classic Caesar salad offers a fresh contrast, while sautéed spinach brings a flavorful earthiness.
Wine Pairing with Steak: A full-bodied red wine is the perfect match for rib eye steak. At Rosebud, we recommend a Cabernet Sauvignon for its bold tannins that cut through the rib eye’s marbling. Alternatively, a Malbec or Zinfandel offers deep fruit notes that complement the steak’s rich flavors.
Our carefully selected wine list pairs perfectly with our steaks, making sure every bite and sip are in perfect harmony.
