Tips

• Use a meat thermometer to accurately measure the internal temperature of the steak. Ribeye steak should be cooked to medium-rare, or an internal temperature of 135°F (56°C).

• Do not press down with a spatula or fork during cooking as this will draw out the juices.

• Cut into the steak to check for doneness. The center should be slightly pink.
