This reverse sear ribeye is the foolproof way of cooking this thick steak and yields the most gorgeous crust. Minimal prep is needed, and perfectly cooked meat every single time. Watch how I make this in my kitchen in the video below!
Pat dry the steak then rub both sides with the salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. In a large skillet or cast iron, add the olive oil. Place the steak on top, followed by the garlic cloves.
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 130F.
Remove the skillet from the oven and remove the steak and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Add the butter to the skillet and place it over medium heat. Once hot, add the steak back and sear it for a minute on each side.
Slice it up and serve immediately.
