Ribeye Alton Brown style

[Matt G]

The wife had a Christmas diner so I decided to cook myself a ribeye. I remember seeing several people comment on Alton Brown's method of cooking a ribeye so I gave it a shot. It was hands down the best steak I've ever cooked. It's amazing how so little seasoning can give the meat so much flavor.

On the skillet with salt, black pepper, and a dash of cayenne.

I forgot the picture in the oven. Just use y'all's imagination.

Ready to eat!

What exactly is the Alton Brown method of cooking a ribeye? I've watched Alton for a long time, and I know most of his recipes are very simple.

Here's the basic rundown. It's pretty much just salt and black pepper pan seared over a hot skillet and then put into the oven at 500 degrees for a few minutes.

Das Purdy right der. Just bought me a big black iron skillet last week for Christmas. Cant wait to start using it. Always looking for a lil different flavors to take it to the next level.

Gotcha. Gonna have to try that sometime. Sounds delicious. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

MG, looks great, but I do have to point something out. The meat and the way you cooked it have the flavor! Not the seasoning, the lack of seasoning is where the magic happened - once you eat beef to taste the beef, you're changed forever

I'm pure. salt, pepper, oil, seared and medium rare. The only thing I ever add is some fresh horse radish, grab a touch with the fork and stab a bite of steak. Lights outn

I agree 100%... If we ever get that card game going I'll bring some meat over. Let you taste what real beef is supposed to taste like

Point taken. I'm thinking about picking up a few more steaks tomorrow to cook one for the old lady since she missed out on the goodness.

Make sure you have the vents on and a couple windows open when you cook a steak like that, they tend to smoke up the house bit.

Matt did you let it rest on an upside down plate before you ate it?

The house did get a bit smokey. The best part about it was the house still had that wonderful aroma this morning. Even the wife said it smelt like Ruth's Chris in the house!!

I didn't this time. I just put it on the plate and let it rest for a few minutes before diving in.

I'll only cook steaks on 1 of 2 things, my black iron skillet with ridges and my Lodge cast iron grill. The skillet is by far my favorite way to cook steaks though. They always come out top notch!

I like to do just some salt pepper and fry her in butter. Sucker turns out fabulous

Steak looks great but your plating needs a little work. You need to clean up that triangle in the center.

I'll give you a 9.45

What does a cabinet have to do with a steak?
