Ingredients
- 1 Ribeye steak (well-marbled)
- 2 tbsp crushed native pepperberries (or mix of black pepper and smoked paprika)
- 1 tbsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary)
- Olive oil or melted butter
Instructions
- Allow the ribeye steak to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine crushed pepperberries, sea salt, and chopped herbs.
- Drizzle olive oil or melted butter over the steak and massage the rub onto both sides.
- Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat.
- Cook the ribeye for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F.
- Let the steak rest for at least five minutes before slicing it against the grain.
- Serve with sides like sautéed mushrooms or a fresh salad.
Notes
Letting the ribeye rest after cooking is crucial for a tender bite. Always use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
