Skillet Ribeye Steaks

I love to grill, but somedays I want my steak and I don't want to meet the elements to get it. So in comes my trusty cast iron skillet. With it you'll get a beautifully browned, flavorful steak without having the fuss of the grill. Now, I like a nice little crust on my steak, where the meat has started to brown and caramelize in the pan. And the secret to this for me is butter and a HOT skillet. The second thing is W'HAM. I hope you've read my kitchen hacks section where I mentioned it's a must hae seasoning. If you don't have it, get it on Amazon NOW. I seriously do not know how to season food for the grill that well. I don't have any special rubs or secret ingredients, I just bust out the W'HAM and magic happens- people LOVE everything I put this stuff on!! It's idiot proof for real. 

Ingredients

2- 10 oz Ribeye steaks

1/8 cup WHA'M seasoning

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon of oil

3 tablespoons of butter

Black pepper to taste (freshly ground is best!)

Directions

1. Turn heat onto cast iron skillet until HOT (but not smoking!). Add oil to the pan.

2. Pat steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly. I like to rub the seasoning into the meat.

3. Add steak to pan and cook for 4 minutes until caramelized on the bottom.

4. Add butter and baste the steak with the melted butter from the pan while it cooks. (Just use a metal spoon to baste with. You don't need some crazy Thanksgiving turkey baster for this!!)

5. Turn heat down to medium-high, flip steak and allow to cook another 4-5 minutes for a Medium steak. Continue to baste with the butter until at your preferred level of doneness.

6. Remove the steak from the pan and allow to rest 4 minutes before slicing and serving. This is super important! It allows all the juices to redistribute evenly throughout the steak so that they don't all run out on your plate leaving your meat dry.
