  1. Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients. To ensure even cooking, take the rib eye beef steak out of the refrigerator in advance and let it reach room temperature for at least 1-2 hours. The meat should have a consistent temperature inside and out. Avoid cooking a steak from frozen meat, as it won't be as juicy and tender as fresh.

  2. If you have a whole piece of meat, cut it into steaks about 2-2.5 cm thick. Wash the steaks and pat them dry with paper towels. Drying the meat is crucial; otherwise, it might stew in its juices instead of getting that desired sear.

  4. Heat a thick-bottomed frying pan over high heat. No need to grease it. Place the steaks in the pan and sear on one side for 30 seconds. If a golden crust appears, flip the steak to seal in the juices. If aiming for a Blue/Raw level of doneness (almost raw meat with a browned crust), the meat can be removed at this point.

  5. Continue roasting. Flip the steak back to the first side and reduce the heat to medium. Roast for 1 minute, then repeat on the other side. For a Rare steak (raw with blood), you can remove the steak after this stage. Adjust based on your preference.

  10. For Medium Well steaks, fry for 6-7 minutes on each side after sealing the juices. At this stage, the meat is no longer releasing blood, maintaining juiciness. There's also the Well Done level, where the meat is thoroughly fried, and even the juice doesn't flow out. It results in a dry structure, appealing to those who prefer well-cooked meat.

Recipe Notes

Opting for a grill pan will impart a visually appealing relief pattern to your steak.

Keep in mind that oils remain beneficial only until they reach their smoking point, beyond which they start to burn, giving rise to toxic substances, including carcinogens.

Important Note: The choice of the right frying pan is crucial and can significantly impact even the finest recipe.

For this particular recipe, it's advisable to use fresh meat instead of frozen to prevent the risk of the finished product turning out dry.
