Serve steaks whole or slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Leftover steak can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat gently to avoid drying out.
Variations
Garlic Butter Ribeye: Top with a pat of garlic herb butter just before serving.

FAQ
Q: How do I know when the steak is done?
Use a meat thermometer: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium.
Q: Can I grill instead of pan-searing?
Yes! Preheat the grill to high heat and follow the same timing guidelines.
Q: Should I marinate the steak?
Ribeye is flavorful on its own, but a short marinade with olive oil, garlic, and herbs can enhance taste further.
