RIB-EYE STEAKS THAT ARE SUPERB
I saw this recipe on the Food Network and tried to write it down as closely as I can recall. Very simple to make and quick. I therefore did some experimenting and came up with, I am sure, the same method for cooking the Rib-Eye Steaks. These are the best steaks that I have made and I have made many others. Tender, succulent and so tasty.

Steps:
- Remove steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit for about 30 minutes to take the chill out of the meat.
- Now, coat both sides generously with coarse black pepper and granulated garlic powder.
- Heat an iron skillet or a heavy bottomed frying pan until very hot on high heat.
- For each steak, sprinkle onto the skillet, 3/4 teaspoon of coarse salt and allow salt to heat up for at least 1 minute.
- Place the steaks on the coarse salt and cook for 3 minutes; DO NOT DISTURB at all, DO NOT LOOK or even move the steaks.
- Turn the steaks over and cook for an additional 3 minutes; again DO NOT DISTURB at all.
- The cooking time of 6 minutes gives you a medium-rare steak; DO NOT OVERCOOK.
- If you desire to cook it to medium, then cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.
- Remove steaks to a plate, cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes, so that all juices are absorbed by the meat.
- Scrape off any excess coarse pepper and salt if desired and discard.
- I prefer to slice the steaks on an angle about 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch thickness.
- Serve with freshly processed horseradish.
- NOTE; Make sure that the heat is on as HIGH as possible without burning at all times during cooking the steaks. This will vary depending on your cooktop.
- Do not use ordinary table salt.
- Beef Tenderloin steaks are also real great cooked in this manner. If using a steak thicker than 1 inch, add 1 extra minute per side for medium-rare.

Steps:
- Place steaks on a plate and pat dry with paper towels; season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Reserve half the rosemary; sprinkle the remaining evenly over top of each steak, pressing to adhere. Let come to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium, then add oil and garlic. When oil is hot but not smoking, push garlic to the edge of pan and add steaks, rosemary side up. Cook steaks until a dark-brown crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn with tongs and cook 3 to 4 minutes more for medium-rare (remove garlic once it begins to turn brown). Transfer steaks to a cutting board to rest 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add reserved rosemary to the skillet; once it begins to sizzle, stir to coat with the oil and, tilting skillet to collect oil, spoon it over the steaks. Slice steaks by cutting parallel to the bone on the diagonal.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200°F (95°C).
- Generously season all sides of the steak with salt and pepper.
- Transfer to a wire rack on top of a baking sheet, then bake for about 45 minutes to an hour until the internal temperature reads about 125°F (51° C) for medium-rare. Adjust the bake time based on if you like your steak more rare or more well-done.
- Heat the canola oil in a pan over high heat until smoking.
- Sear the steak for 30 seconds on the first side, then flip.
- Add the butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme, and swirl around the pan.
- Transfer the garlic and herbs on top of the steak and baste the steak with the butter using a large spoon.
- Baste for about 30 seconds, then flip and baste the other side for about 15 seconds.
- Turn the steak on its side and cook to render off any excess fat.
- Rest the steak on a cutting board or wire rack for about 10 minutes. Slicing the steak before the resting period has finished will result in a lot of the juices leaking out, which may not be desirable.
- Slice the steak into ½ -inch (1 cm) strips, then fan out the slices and serve.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Up to 8 hrs before cooking, pat the steaks dry with kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil over a high flame in a heavy-based frying pan that will comfortably fit both steaks. When the oil is shimmering, turn the heat down to medium-high and add the butter. Once it's sizzling, carefully lay the steaks in the pan, tucking the garlic and herbs in at the sides.
- Stand over the steaks with a pair of tongs, searing and turning them every 30 seconds to 1 min so they get a nice brown crust. As a rough guide, each steak will take 4 mins in total for rare, 5-6 mins in total for medium and 8-10 mins for well done. If you have a digital cooking thermometer, the temperatures you're looking for in middle of the steak are 50C for rare, 60C for medium and 70C for well done. Leave the steaks to rest for at least 5 mins. While the steaks are resting, you can make a classic red wine sauce to go with them.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality rib-eye steaks with good marbling for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Season the steaks liberally with salt and pepper, or use your favorite steak seasoning blend, to enhance their natural flavor.
- Bring the steaks to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking throughout.
- Preheat your cooking surface, whether a grill, skillet, or griddle, to high heat to quickly sear the steaks and create a flavorful crust.
- Sear the steaks for a few minutes per side, depending on the desired doneness, then reduce the heat and continue cooking until the steaks reach your preferred internal temperature.
- Allow the steaks to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving to allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to relax, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
