Expert Tips and Tricks
Here are some expert tips to make these perfect ribeye steaks:
Leave the steaks alone - Resist the temptation to move or flip the steaks frequently. Let them sear without interference for that beautiful crust. Once they have reached the desired temperature let the meat rest for 15-20 minutes. This step is crucial to keep the juices inside and maintain tenderness.
Use a thermometer - Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. For the perfect level of doneness, you are aiming for 125-130°F at the thickest part of the steak. If you have a thicker steak, the cook time may be longer. A thinner steak will be done faster with a quick sear.
Room temperature steaks - Allow the ribeye steaks to come to room temperature before cooking. This helps them cook more evenly.
