Steps:
- Place a 10-to-12-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven and heat the oven to 500 degrees F. Bring the steak to room temperature.
- When the oven reaches temperature, remove the skillet and place on the range over high heat for 5 minutes. Coat the steak lightly with oil and sprinkle both sides with a generous pinch of salt. Grind on black pepper.
- Immediately place the steak in the middle of the hot, dry skillet. Cook 30 seconds without moving. Turn with tongs and cook another 30 seconds, then put the pan straight into the oven for 2 minutes. Flip the steak and cook for another 2 minutes. (This time is for medium-rare steak. If you prefer medium, add a minute to both of the oven turns.)
- Remove the steak from the skillet, cover loosely with foil and rest for 2 minutes. Serve whole or slice thin and fan onto plate.
EASY PRIME RIB OR RIB EYE ROAST
This recipe is a combination of Ree Drummond's preparation and research of the reverse sear method. It is the easiest and most foolproof recipe for a roast and the technique works for pork as well. Play with the spices, but remember, simpler is better because the taste of the beef needs to be the star. I use my counter top roaster and it works great. Very little drippings will come from this roast, so plan on a separate gravy or Au Jus recipe (out of a package is fine). I panicked when my first 10 lb roast came out at 138 degrees after 5 hours. It was pink all the way through, juicy and perfect medium. I like rare to medium rare beef, so I try to roast this to about 125 degrees. The roast will gain 5-10 degrees while it rests. It does not need to be rested after the final step which only browns the outside and does not heat or affect the inside of the roast at all.

Steps:
- Crush peppercorns in a bag using a rolling pin, or use the whirry thing to crush them up. A bullet blender is my favorite little whirry thing, but any food processor or spice/coffee grinder will work. Chop the rosemary and thyme. Mix salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme to blend. The salt and pepper are necessary, the other spices are optional. Don't be afraid to change the mixture to suit your personal taste. Less is more with added spices.
- Roll the roast in the spice mixture to coat completely. Use more pepper and salt if needed to coat completely.
- Wrap in aluminum foil, place on a baking sheet and refrigerate overnight or for at least 12 hours. I did 18 hours, the time is approximate. In my research, I also found that covering the roast while it marinates is negotiable.
- Remove from refrigerator and let sit unwrapped on the counter for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows for more even cooking and is necessary.
- Preheat oven or roaster to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat the roasting rack during this time. My turkey rack was perfect.
- Cook uncovered on a roasting rack for 25 minutes per pound for medium rare to a temperature of 125 to 130. 30 minutes for a firm medium at 135-140 degrees. Any higher temperature will produce a grey, well done interior, not a good thing. No peeking! Check the temperature with an instant read digital thermometer (cheap, quick and accurate) inserted to the center of the roast an hour before time is up, then maybe one more time a half hour later. The temperature is most important for a great roast, not the cooking time.
- Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for at least 30 minutes. This is your variable time, it can rest up to 2 hours, about an hour is optimal. This step is critical as the juices inside the meat are distributed and absorbed while resting. If cut at this time, the juices will drain, the meat will be exceptionally dry and lose a lot of flavor.
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. 450 works almost as well if you are cooking something else at the same time. Roast for 8-10 minutes to brown the top. This step is only to brown the top, not for additional cooking and will not affect the interior temperature of the roast.
- It is possible to slice immediately without losing the juices. Either slice at the table or just before serving.

SPICY JUICY RIBEYE
Steps:
- Let the steaks come to room temperature. Chop the jalepeno and the garlic very fine. Mix the pepper, softened butter, jalepeno, garlic and salt into a paste with a spoon. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel. With the back of your spoon, spread the paste on each side of the steaks evenly. Preheat the grill on high. Reduce heat slightly. Cook the steaks 4-6 minutes per side (depending on heat of grill and thickness of steak) until medium rare. Remove from grill. Let steaks sit for 5 minutes or so. Sprinkle with another pinch of salt before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
- Beat butter and garlic together in a bowl. Poke several holes in roast with a sharp knife. Rub butter mixture all over roast and season meat with salt and black pepper. Place roast, fat-side up, in a roasting pan.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), and continue cooking until roast is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

MARINATED RIB EYES
Excellent marinade for beef. I have used this with beef kabobs and my DH's favorite Ribeyes. The meat is so flavorful and tender and the reserved sauce is excellent on the side.

PAN-ROASTED RIB EYES
Steaks this thick need a two-step cooking process. Give them a good sear on the stove-top, then transfer them to the oven to allow the inside to finish cooking without burning the outside. Ask your butcher to french the bones by removing excess fat and muscle, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Season steaks generously with salt and pepper; let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Scatter thyme and rosemary sprigs evenly in bottom of a roasting pan; dot with 4 tablespoons butter.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and add 1 steak to skillet. Cook until seared and golden brown on all sides (including edges), 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer steak to prepared roasting pan. Pour out oil and wipe skillet with paper towels. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon oil, and steak.
- Roast steaks in oven, turning halfway through cooking and basting frequently with herb butter in pan, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into steak registers 125°F for medium-rare, about 20 minutes, or to desired doneness.
- Transfer steaks to a cutting board. Drizzle 1 tablespoon herb butter from roasting pan over each steak and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice against the grain and divide among plates. Don't forget to set out the bones for those who like to gnaw on them. Serve with Béarnaise Sauce.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality rib-eye steaks with good marbling for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper. You can also use other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Bring the steaks to room temperature before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly.
- Sear the steaks in a hot skillet or on a grill over high heat to create a flavorful crust.
- Move the steaks to a lower heat and continue cooking until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
- Let the steaks rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
