Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C/Gas Mark ½). Remember, you are reheating the steak and not cooking it. Therefore, using low heat is ideal.
To help the steak warm evenly, use a wire rack on top of a sheet pan; place 1 ribeye steak on the wire rack (the sheet pan will catch any fat drippings)
Bake for 4-7 minutes per side depending on the size of your steakand flip at the halfway point.
Meanwhile, preheat a skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Ideally, a cast iron pan if you have it, but any skillet will do the job. Add 1 tablespoon butter or oil.
Pull your steak out of the oven a few minutes shy of being heated through, and add it immediately to the hot skillet.
Sear one side of the steak until you get a nice crunchy outside, about 1-2 minutes, then flip it and do the same to the other.
Remove the steak from the heat and transfer it to a plate. Loosely tent a piece of foil over the top and let it rest for 5 minutes before eating.
Notes
How long you need to reheat your steak will depend on how thick it is. For a thin cut, like a flank steak, you will only need about 15 minutes total. For a thicker piece of meat, it may take up to 30 minutes.
Do your best to guess approximately how long it may take so that you can flip the steak about halfway through. Flipping it is also a good reminder to keep an eye on it so that you don’t dry it out.
A meat thermometer is going to be your best bet for checking if your steak is done. Place it into the thickest part of the steak and check the internal temperature.
