How to Make Oven Ribeye Steak

Ingredients

• 2 Ribeye Steaks (1.5″ thick, bone-in)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil

• 1 tsp Thyme (dried)
• 1 tsp Brown Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder

Directions

2. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
3. In a bowl, combine the dry seasonings: thyme, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
4. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a nice sear. Rub all sides of the steaks with the seasoning mixture.
5. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Once it’s very hot, carefully add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil.
6. Sear the steaks for 30 seconds on each side. You want them to develop a nice, flavorful crust.

8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Cook for about 10-12 minutes.
9. Using a meat thermometer, check the internal temperature of the center of the steak. When it reaches 125 degrees, pull the steak out of the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
10. Slice the steak and serve it with your favorite side dishes.
