The Perfect Ribeye Steak in Oven is a steakhouse-quality recipe made at home without the grill. The steak is seared for a flavorful crust and finished in the oven until perfectly juicy and tender—ideal for special occasions or satisfying weeknight cravings.

Ingredients

  • 1 ribeye steak (at least 1–1½ inches thick)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Kosher salt – to taste
  • Black pepper – to taste
  • 2–3 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Let the ribeye steak sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Pat steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  4. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear the steak for 2–3 minutes per side until browned.
  5. Add butter, garlic, and herbs to the pan. Spoon melted butter over the steak for added flavor.
  6. Transfer skillet to the oven. Roast for 5–7 minutes for medium-rare or adjust for desired doneness.
  7. Remove from oven and let the steak rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure precise doneness: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium.
  • Season the steak an hour ahead or overnight for enhanced flavor.
  • Try compound butter like garlic herb or blue cheese for a gourmet twist.
  • Rub with smoked paprika or chili powder for a spicy variation.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or arugula salad for a complete meal.
