Treat yourself to some seriously mouthwatering ribeye steaks with my top picks for my collection's best steak recipes! This includes all cooking methods from baking to sous vide, broiling, grilling, pan-searing, air-frying, and more!
I've tried each of these easy steak recipes more times than I can count, and no one is better than the other. It's all about your preferences and how you like your steak!
1. Baked Ribeye Steak
An easy, fool-proof way for flawless ribeye steaks. Give them a few minutes in a skillet over high heat before popping them in the oven for a perfect golden-brown sear!
2. Sous Vide Ribeye Steak
You don't need any special equipment to sous vide a ribeye steak (you can use a Ziploc storage bag), but if you have a sous vide machine, great! I've included instructions for both, as well as the Instant Pot.
Everything is on the recipe card, and you can check my guide on how to sous vide steak if you have further questions. It's shockingly easy and produces some of the most tender steak you'll ever try!
3. Grilled Tomahawk Ribeye
A giant bone-in ribeye with a flame-kissed flavor straight out of any steak lover's dreams! All you need is a 3+ pound tomahawk ribeye, a hot grill, and some of my homemade steak seasoning.
4. Grilled Ribeye
Whenever I grill ribeyes, I use this easy method for perfect hatched sear marks that help cook the steak evenly! That, and a combination of steak seasoning and butter, makes for an easy and delicious steak dinner!
5. Smoked Ribeye
You're missing out if you've never tried a tender medium-rare ribeye that spent some time in the smoker. The meat absorbs all that smoky goodness and gives it a flavor you can't achieve any other way!
6. Grilled Cowboy Ribeye Steak
With a crispy char on the outside and tender meat that slices like butter, no one can resist a grilled cowboy ribeye on their plate. The giant slab of rib bone adds tons of flavor to the steak as it cooks!
7. Pan-Seared Cowboy Ribeye Steak
If you have no grill, it's no problem! You can still achieve a crispy char and buttery, tender meat on your stovetop with a few easy tips and tricks.
One of my favorite things about the pan-searing method is that you can baste your steak with herb butter for even more flavor!

8. Wagyu Ribeye Steak
Wagyu is the creme-de-la-creme when it comes to steaks (meaning it is highly sought-after). A quick stint in a hot pan with some garlic, seasoning, and fresh herbs, and you have a restaurant-worthy ribeye to write home about!
Serve with some amazing fondant potatoes to really wow your family, date, or guests!
9. Broiled Ribeye Steak
If you didn't know the high setting on your broiler was perfect for cooking steaks, you do now! This super simple method turns out gorgeous steaks in minutes, cooked to perfection outside and in!
10. Pan-seared Ribeye Steak
A classic, pan-seared ribeye steak always hits the spot! This is perhaps the most widely used method for cooking ribeyes, and for good reason!
You can customize the seasonings to your liking and monitor your steak throughout the whole process to make sure it's cooked to perfection!
11. Air Fryer Steak
While the air fryer might not be my first choice, it still creates some surprisingly tasty ribeye steaks, and the convenience is worth noting! A juicy steak with little prep or cleanup, it's perfect for when your carnivorous cravings strike!
Pork Ribeye Roasts
As a bonus, here are two fantastic recipes for unbelievably succulent and tender pork ribeye roasts! It may not be the same as beef ribeyes, but this cut is still incredibly flavorful and easy to prepare.
I have an out-of-this-world classic oven-roasted pork ribeye with a honey and Dijon glaze. I also have a slow-cooked pork ribeye roast that I love as an easy family dinner (both are worth mentioning here)!
💭 Tips For Cooking The Best Ribeye Steaks
Cooking the best ribeye steak involves a combination of quality meat, seasoning, and the effective cooking techniques I mentioned above! In addition to myself, any steak aficionado, grill master, or chef follows these basic guidelines:
- Buy a good steak: Choose a thick steak (at least 1 inch thick) with good marbling (a.k.a. plenty of streaks of white fat). The fat adds flavor and tenderness!
- Start with room-temperature steak: I take any steak out of the refrigerator at least 30-60 minutes before cooking because room-temperature steaks will cook more evenly.
- Make sure the pan or grill is HOT: Make sure your cooking surface (pan or grill) is nice and hot before placing the steaks on it. It's essential to a good sear which in turn will look in all the delicious juices.
- Use a meat thermometer: I always use a meat thermometer to monitor my steak's internal temperature, no matter how I cook the steaks. For medium-rare, I aim for 130-135°F (54-57°C). You can check my guide to beef doneness for other levels. If you like super rare steaks, my blue steak recipe is a must-try.
- Always rest: One of my most important tips is to always rest your steaks for at least 5-10 minutes after cooking. This gives the meat time to reabsorb some of the lost juices.

Best Ribeye Steak Recipes: 11+ Ways To Cook A Ribeye Steak Tonight!
Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon beef tallow (or extra virgin olive oil)
- 8 oz ribeye steak
- ½ tablespoon steak seasoning (to taste)
(Note: 2x or 3x only changes the ingredient list)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C/Gas Mark 6). Add ½ tablespoon beef tallow to a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed oven-safe skillet and place it over high heat.
- If your 8 oz ribeye steak is not already seasoned (*see note), pat it dry with some paper towels and then season all of the sides using ½ tablespoon steak seasoning.
- 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).
- Once seared, move the skillet to the preheated oven and bake at 400°F (205°C/Gas Mark 6) for 10-15 minutes, or until the meat reaches your desired doneness when checked with a meat thermometer.
- Remove the cooked ribeye and transfer it to a plate or cutting board. Then, loosely tent some aluminum foil over top and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
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).
- 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)
- To store: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat: 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.
