This recipe offers a flavorful and easy-to-follow method for preparing a delicious rib eye steak with a smoky spice rub.
Take the rib eye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature.
Allowing the steak to reach room temperature ensures even cooking.
Mix the smoked paprika, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder with the olive oil to form a paste.
Mixing the spices with oil helps the rub adhere better to the steak.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the steaks.
Ensure the rub is applied evenly for consistent flavor.
Preheat a cast iron skillet in the oven at 500°F (260°C) for about 10 minutes.
Preheating the skillet ensures a perfect sear.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and place it on a stovetop burner set to high heat.
Use oven mitts to handle the hot skillet.
Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 30 seconds on each side.
Avoid moving the steaks during searing to develop a crust.
Transfer the skillet back to the oven and cook the steaks for 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or 3 minutes on each side for medium.
Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred doneness.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on a wooden cutting board. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes.
Resting the steak allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy bite.
Serve the steaks hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Serving immediately ensures the steak is at its best temperature and flavor.
