Ribeye steak cooked three ways — cast iron, grill and reverse sear — Alaron Farm Kitchen
How Would You Cook It?

Ribeye, three ways.

How are you cooking tonight? Every method works on the same steak — they just get there differently.

Cast Iron

Fastest route to a deep crust. A heavy pan, high heat and a butter baste at the finish.

Grill

Direct heat for the crust, indirect to finish. Best when the weather cooperates.

Reverse Sear

Low oven first, hard sear last. The most even interior on a thick steak.
