Best Reverse Sear Ribeye
I enjoy steaks at home and have tried everything from cooking it in a pan on the stove to air frying! There are so many ways to cook a steak, but out of all of them, our favorite method is reverse searing. This is the method I turn to over and over again! Reverse searing does wonders! You will not believe how easy it is and what a difference it makes in your eating experience. I love a good pan seared steak for a weeknight meal but save this method for our special meals. This is the best ribeye recipe because it cooks in the oven first, and then in a pan for the perfect sear on the outside with a beautiful medium-rare center. Once you reverse sear ribeye steak, you’ll want to make it this way every time… it is one of my favorite dinner ideas!

Ribeye Steak Seasoning
I use Santa Maria seasoning for this reverse sear ribeye! Santa Maria seasoning is a simple seasoning using a mixture of salt, pepper, granulated honey or sugar, granulated garlic, and onion powder. You can also use our homemade Steak Seasoning, your favorite seasoning, or go with a simple blend of salt and pepper.

Reverse Sear Ribeye Steak Cooking Tips
Always let your beef rest after cooking. This helps seal in all of the flavor, so don’t slice it too early!Cut against the grain when slicing. The grain is muscle fiber and looks like little lines running through the beef, so cut in the opposite direction to those lines. This will give you the most tender bite every time.

Steak Butter
I always recommend topping your steak with butter. That’s how you create the umami flavor. Butter brings out the amazing steak flavors. Try topping this easy ribeye recipe with Steak Butter, Truffle Butter, or Cowboy Butter Sauce. The flavors are incredible and make the beef extra juicy and tender! Another great sauce for this steak recipe is my easy red wine sauce. It has amazing flavor and complements this recipe perfectly.
