Can I Cook Ribeye Perfectly in a Grill Pan?

[babywings76]

Okay, don't laugh at me...

I am not a outdoor grill person. I never cook burgers or steak...I go to my mom's for that. Seriously, I mostly just cook chicken and PC recipes. So, here I have these great looking Ribeye steaks that I want to make for dinner and I'm scared I'm going to ruin them! I want to do them in my grill pan.

How do I cook these in my oven/on the stove? What time, temp, etc. I like it cooked to medium.

Please help!

Wish I had seen this earlier Amanda. I do not eat steak but I can tell you it is about 4 minutes per side, medium high heat if they are about 1" thick. Thinner, do 2 minutes and check. I think the ideal temp for medium is 130 or 140 and you should use your pocket thermometer. Remember - let them rest about 10 minutes before cutting. The internal temp should increase about 5 degrees.

Don't worry, we won't laugh at you! We all have to start somewhere when it comes to cooking. Ribeye steaks can be intimidating, but with the right techniques, you'll be able to cook them perfectly. Here's what I suggest:1. Preheat your grill pan on the stove over medium-high heat. You want the pan to be hot before you add the steaks.2. While the pan is heating up, season your steaks with salt and pepper. You can also add any other seasonings you like, such as garlic powder or steak seasoning.3. Once the pan is hot, add the steaks. You should hear a sizzling sound when they hit the pan. Let them cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. If you like your steak more well done, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on each side.4. If you have an oven-safe grill pan, you can also finish cooking the steaks in the oven. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and place the grill pan with the steaks in the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes.5. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steaks. For medium doneness, the thermometer should read 145 degrees.6. Once the steaks are done, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the steak tender and juicy.I hope this helps! Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings and cooking times to find your perfect steak. Happy cooking!
