Cast Iron Steak

Perfect for a simple dinner or a date night meal, this cast iron skillet ribeye is sure to tantalize your taste buds. With just a few ingredients, this steak meal will be ready in under an hour.

Marbled Steak

How Long Do You Cook Ribeye on Cast Iron?

Cooking ribeye on cast iron is more simple than you may think. Depending on the temperature desired, the following times are recommended for a ½ inch steak, however it depends on the thickness of the steak.

Rare - 3 minutes on each side, resting for 10 minutes

Medium - 6 minutes on each side, resting for 10 minutes

Well Done - 9 minutes on each side, resting for 10 minutes

Cast Iron Ribeye Ingredients

The ingredients used in this recipe are pretty simple and affordable. Not only are these ingredients great for this cut of steak, but can be used for any cut of pan seared or grilled steak.

  1. Unsalted Butter
  2. Olive Oil
  3. Fresh Thyme
  4. Fresh Garlic Cloves
  5. Jamaican All Purpose Seasoning
  6. Course Black Pepper

Is it Better to Cook Steak with Butter or Oil?

When searing steak in a cast iron skillet, it is better to start with oil then add butter for flavor. The choice of oil is up to the cook but do keep in mind that olive oil has the highest smoking point. Usually, adding butter to steak while cooking is for increased flavor.

How Long Should Steak Sit before Cooking?

Taking the steak from the refrigerator at least 15 minutes before cooking is ideal for a perfectly cooked steak. Personally, I would add spices to the steak as soon as it is removed from the refrigerator and set it aside for the 15 minutes. This will allow the spices to set onto the steak while it comes to room temperature.

Seasoned Steak

How Do You Cook Cast Iron Ribeye without Smoking it?

The best way to get this result is to start searing the steak in a heated cast iron skillet without oil. Cooking oil in general has a smoking point, either high or low. Adding butter half way through will add flavor as well as help to cool the smoke coming from the cast iron skillet.
