So you have opened your pack and been blown away by your 2in thick RibEye!

Here is a simple recipe from Damn Delicious that will have you cooking like a world famous steakhouse.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 x Regenerative Farms bone-in ribeye steak, 2-inch-thick, at room temperature

DIRECTIONS:

  • Using paper towels, pat both sides of the steak dry; season generously with 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

  • Heat a medium cast iron skillet over medium high heat until very hot, about 1-2 minutes; add  a generous knob of butter.

  • Place the steak in the middle of the skillet and cook, turning every 2-3 minutes, until a dark crust has formed on both sides, about 12-14 minutes.

  • Reduce heat to medium low. Push steak to one side of the skillet; add butter, garlic, thyme and rosemary to opposite side of the skillet, tilting the skillet towards the butter and cooking until butter is foaming, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

  • Working carefully, spoon butter and herb mix over steak for 1-2 minutes, turning over once, until it reaches an internal temperature of 49 degrees C for medium rare, or until desired doneness. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing.

Alternatively:

Sear both sides in your pan.

Cover with foil and into a moderate oven (180-200) for 15-20mins.

Let it rest for half the time it cooked.

Cut it away from the bone, then slice it into portions.

Enjoy it with your loved ones.
