Rib steak may seem daunting to prepare, but this recipe couldn't be easier. Based on a recipe from Alain Ducasse, this prime rib steak method consists of two basic parts: season the meat well and let it stand at room temperature for at least half an hour, then cook it in a hot cast iron skillet. Halfway through the cooking process, the ribs are toasted with a mixture of butter, thyme, and garlic already in the pan, so they're crusty outside and have a rich flavor. And don’t worry about special hardware.ingredients
° 2 pieces 1/4 pound, rib eye steak with bone
° kosher salt
° Freshly ground pepper
° 2 tablespoons canola oil
° 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
° 4 sprigs thyme
° 3 garlic cloves
° 1 sprig of rosemary
Step 1
Season the rib eye steaks with salt and freshly ground pepper. Leave the meat at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Step 2
In a large cast iron skillet, heat canola oil until shimmering. Add the steaks and cook over high heat until they flake off the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip the steaks and add the butter, thyme, garlic, and rosemary to the skillet. Cook over high heat, brushing steaks with melted butter, garlic, and herbs, until steaks are medium-rare, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 10 minutes. We cut the meat off the bone, then cut the meat into slices and serve.
