At The Carnivore Market, we believe a great steak deserves great preparation. Whether you’re using a skillet, oven, grill, or broiler, follow these simple steps to cook a juicy, flavorful bone-in ribeye to perfection.

Serving Size

Each bone-in ribeye is generously portioned, serving 1 to 2 people per steak.

Preparation

1. Thaw Properly – Always thaw your ribeye in the refrigerator on a dish (see our storage and thawing guide for details).

2. Bring to Room Temperature – Remove the steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking.

3. Season Simply – A generous sprinkle of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper is all you need to enhance the steak’s natural flavors.

Cooking Methods

1. Sear & Roast (Oven + Skillet Method)

✅ Best for: A perfect balance of a crispy crust and a tender, juicy center.

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.

2. Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking.

3. Sear the ribeye for 2 minutes on each side to develop a golden-brown crust.

4. Transfer to the oven and roast for 8–10 minutes per side for medium-rare.

• Adjust time based on your steak’s size and preferred doneness.

5. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

2. Grilling Method

✅ Best for: That classic smoky, charred flavor.

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

2. Lightly brush the steak with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

3. Grill for 6 minutes per side for a medium-rare finish.

• Adjust time as needed based on your grill type and steak thickness.

3. Broiling Method

✅ Best for: A high-heat, steakhouse-style finish.

1. Preheat your broiler to high.

2. Lightly coat the steak with olive oil and season.

3. Broil for 8–10 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

Pro Tips for the Best Ribeye

🔥 Use a meat thermometer – Aim for 125°F for medium-rare (it will rise to 130°F while resting).

⌛ Rest your steak – Let it sit for 5 minutes after cooking to lock in juices.

📏 Cooking times may vary – Steak thickness and grill temperature can affect cook time, so always keep an eye on your ribeye.
