Nothing beats a piece of ribeye steak, especially when perfectly cooked to your taste and minimally seasoned so that the quality and flavor of the meat can shine. While I love a good NY Strip Steak, tenderloin steak, I love Lamb Steaks and ribeye a touch more.
There’s something extra flavorful in the ribeye steak in my opinion compared to others. You can use this flavorful piece of meat to make Philly Cheesesteak Sliders, Steak Bites with Parmesan Cheese and Grilled Lamb Skewers on the BBQ

How to Cook Ribeye Steak
So today we’re making them on the grill and I’m sharing below how to make them using the stove and oven combo. The common factors including making the rosemary butter and seasoning the steaks the same way.
Begin by seasoning the steaks on both sides generously with the simple salt, pepper, onion flakes, rosemary and olive oil.
Grilled Ribeye Steak
Preheat your grill to medium high and add on the steaks. Cook them for 5-7 minutes before flipping them.
Now the steak is ready to flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes depending on how well done you want the steak to be. This is is 3/4 inch thick steaks and we cook them to medium-rare, but more on the medium side. At that point the grilled ribeye is ready.
Stove/Oven
Once the steak is seasoned and ready, cook them in a heavy cast iron skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until nicely browned.
Place immediately in a preheated 400 degree oven and cook for about 10-12 minutes.
At that point you’ll dollop the rosemary butter over the hot steak from the grill or oven and allow it to sit for 8 minutes before serving. SO GOOD!!
