Not only do I love a juicy ribeye steak, but I also love this technique of preparing steak that can be used on any of your favorite cuts of steak. The meat is first seared on the stovetop and then popped into the oven to finish cooking.

As a result, you'll have a piece of steak that is tender, juicy, and loaded with tons of flavor. Plus, it's ready to go in less than 30 minutes!

🥘 Ingredients

I love keeping my ingredients simple when it comes to preparing steak in order to let the natural beefy flavor shine. Of course, my homemade steak seasoning is my preferred blend of spices, but you can use your favorite kind.

  • Beef Tallow - ½ tablespoon of beef tallow. You can use olive oil if you like, but the beef tallow adds a ton of rich flavor!
  • Ribeye Steak - An 8-ounce ribeye steak.
  • Steak Seasoning - ½ tablespoon of steak seasoning, to taste.

🔪 How To Bake A Ribeye Steak

This steak is prepared by first searing it on the stove and then transferring it to the oven to finish it off. You'll need a cast iron skillet (or another heavy-bottomed, oven-safe skillet), a meat thermometer, and some measuring spoons.

This recipe is for just one ribeye. However, you can easily adjust the seasonings to make as many as you need.

  1. Preheat. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Add ½ tablespoon of beef tallow to a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed oven-safe skillet and place it over high heat.
  2. Season. If your 8-ounce ribeye is not already seasoned (*see note), pat it dry with some paper towels and then season all of the sides using ½ tablespoon of steak seasoning.
  3. Sear. Once the beef tallow is nice and hot, add the seasoned ribeye to the pan and sear the meat for 2-3 minutes per side (use tongs to hold the steak in order to sear the sides).
  4. Bake. Once seared, move the skillet to the preheated oven and bake at 400°F (205°C) for 10-15 minutes or until the meat reaches your desired doneness when checked with a meat thermometer.
  5. Rest. Remove the cooked ribeye and transfer it to a plate or cutting board. Then, loosely tent some aluminum foil over the top and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

💭 Angela's Pro Tips & Recipe Notes

  • Remove your ribeye from the fridge and place it on the counter an hour before cooking.
  • To dry brine your steak (for best flavor), season your ribeye and leave it uncovered in the fridge overnight. 
  • I love using beef tallow for searing steaks as it has a rich, beefy flavor and a high smoke point of 420°F (215°C).

🌡️ Cooking Temperatures

Using a meat thermometer is the best way to know when your ribeye is done cooking. Pull your steak from the oven 5°F before your desired temperature, as it will continue to cook while resting (called "carryover cooking").

  • Rare: 115-120°F (46-49°C)
  • Medium-Rare: 120-125°F (49-52°C)
  • Medium: 130-135°F (54-57°C)
  • Medium-Well: 140-145°F (60-63°C)
  • Well: 150-155°F (66-68°C)

🥡 Storing & Reheating

Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat your ribeye by baking it in the oven at 250°F (120°C) until it is warmed through. For more tips and ideas, take a look at my guide to reheating steak.

❓ Recipe FAQs

Should Ribeye Steak Be Wrapped In Foil In Order To Be Baked In The Oven?

Nope! Simply sear the steak(s) on the stovetop and move the entire pan to the oven. No need to cover your ribeye!

Can You Cook A Ribeye Steak In The Oven Without Searing It?

Technically, you could put your ribeye straight into the oven to cook and skip the searing step. However, it definitely wouldn't taste as good. Searing the beef gives it a nice crust that is loaded with flavor and I wouldn't recommend skipping it.

How Long Does It Take To Cook A Ribeye Steak In The Oven?

This depends on a variety of factors. First of all, the thickness of the meat will affect how long it will take to cook all the way through. It also matters how well done you want the ribeye to be. A medium-rare steak is done cooking much sooner than a steak that is medium-well. It could take 10-15 minutes or longer, depending on these factors.
