Nothing beats a perfectly cooked ribeye steak, and this method is so simple it's guaranteed to be your new go-to. No need for a fancy restaurant when you can achieve the same quality at home in a matter of minutes.

I'm sure you've cooked steak on the grill or seared it in a skillet, but it's even more hands-off when broiled in the oven. With this method you just season it, pop it in the oven, and flip it once halfway through. That's it, no heating up the grill or cleaning grease off of your stove-top.

This recipe is perfect for beginners because it's so straightforward! With a quality steak and a few simple instructions, you'll be ready for steak night!

❤️ Why I Love This Recipe

• Easy. An impressive and delectably tender ribeye with practically no prep work whatsoever.
• Quick. From start to finish, it only takes about 30 minutes to get a tender, juicy steak on the table.
• Delicious. There's something about a juicy ribeye that is just so satisfying and really makes any occasion special.

🥘 Ingredients

To make this totally tender and delicious ribeye you only need 2 ingredients. That means the steak you choose really matters. I highly recommend splurging just a tiny bit on a high-quality ribeye for the most mouth-watering results.

• 16-Ounce Ribeye Steak- Look for a prime cut that is thick with lots of marbling. Marbling is the white specks or lines throughout the steak. The more marbling is present, the higher the fat content of the steak which makes it more tender and flavorful while it cooks!
• ½ tablespoon Steak Seasoning- Sure you can get some at the store, but I have the perfect Steak Seasoning recipe if you want to make your own and really impress.

🔪 How To Broil A Ribeye Steak

No special tools necessary, just a pan to put it in the oven. You can use a broiling pan or baking dish with a wire cooling rack, or just line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

1. Bring steak to temp. If you have time, set your steak out 30 minutes beforehand so it can come up to room temperature (it helps the steak cook evenly).
2. Preheat. Preheat your broiler on high. If your oven only has an on/off broil option then just turn it on and move your oven rack to the second highest position.
3. Prep your steak. Next, Season the steak generously, making sure to get the sides, and place it on your pan.
4. Broil. Place the seasoned steak in the center of the top rack and allow it to broil for 7 minutes on each side for a medium-rare steak. (9 minutes on each side for a medium steak).
5. Rest and Serve. Transfer your steak to a cutting board and loosely tent a piece of foil over top. Allow your steak to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

This recipe makes 1 large ribeye steak (technically 3 servings). If you'd like to serve a steak per person, just prep additional ribeye steaks and broil them together as long as they all fit on one pan. Enjoy!

💭 Tips & Notes

• Use a meat thermometer to make sure your steak is cooked perfectly. The thermometer should read 130℉-140℉ (54.5℃-60℃) for a medium-rare steak.
• If you have thin piece of steak, that's totally fine. Just lower the cooking time and monitor it closely so you don't overcook it.
• You can coat the steak with a thin layer of olive oil before seasoning if you wish, but it isn't necessary. I have tried it both with and without olive oil and haven't noticed much difference.
• To keep your steak nice and moist, either season it well in advance (at least 40 minutes) or within 3 minutes of putting it in the oven.

🥡 Storing & Reheating

If you have an entire 16-ounce ribeye to yourself, you very well may have leftovers. Refrigerate them in a shallow airtight container or wrapped in foil for up to 3 days.

Freeze leftovers by wrapping it tightly in cling wrap and placing it in a heavy-duty freezer bag or wrapped tightly in heavy-duty foil. Make sure to label it with a date, and it will keep for 2-3 months!

Reheating

Pre-heat the oven to 250℉ (121℃). Place your steak on a baking sheet with a cooling rack or foil and pop it in the oven for 20 minutes, just until heated through.

Be sure to monitor your steak, checking its internal temp if necessary, so you don't overcook it.

Microwaves often overcook steak or make them rubbery but can be used in a pinch.
Microwave your steak for 20 second increments just until heated through.

Be aware, microwaving will likely cook the inside of your steak more and may dry it out a little.

If frozen, thaw your steak in the fridge overnight. If your steak is still a little frozen, you can place it in a freezer bag and set it in a sink of lukewarm water until fully thawed.
