Bone in Ribeye Steaks with Dry Rub

Bone in Ribeye Steaks with Dry Rub

2 (½ to 1 inch thick) Bone in RibEyes

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons Olive oil

Rub:

1 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp ground black pepper

1 tsp dried basil leaves

1 tsp garlic powder

Combine the rub ingredients.  Sprinkle the rub on both sides of the ribeyes and push into the meat.  Let the steaks sit at room temperature for at least half an hour. 

Pre-heat a grill pan or a cast iron pan on medium high heat.  Add the olive oil to pan and wait just a moment until the oil heats up. Add the steaks (should sizzle) and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. (Do not touch the steak while it is cooking, let it create a crust)

Flip and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes.  This will give you a medium rare

steak. If you prefer it cooked more leave it for an addition 2 to 3 minutes on both sides.

Remove from the heat and let the steak rest at least 5 minutes. Put 1 tablesoon of butter on each steak. 

Served with Pea and Bean Jag (seasoned rice)
