Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry a juicy ribeye beef steak in a frying pan at home? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. To ensure that the meat is fried evenly throughout the piece, remove the beef steak from the refrigerator in advance and leave at room temperature for at least 1-2 hours. The meat should be at the same temperature both inside and outside. It is not advisable to cook a steak from frozen meat — it will not turn out as juicy and soft as from fresh meat.

Step 2

Step 2
If you have a whole piece of meat, then you need to cut it yourself into steaks about 2-2.5 cm thick. Then wash the steaks and dry them with paper towels. It is necessary to dry the meat, otherwise it will not be fried, but stewed in meat juice.

Step 3

Step 3
Using a brush, brush the meat with olive oil on all sides. Beef flesh absorbs oil very well, so your steak will turn out juicy.

Step 4

Step 4
Heat a thick-bottomed frying pan over high heat. There is no need to lubricate it with anything. Place the steaks in the pan and sear on one side for 30 seconds. If after this time a golden brown crust appears on the meat, turn the steak over to the other side. This will quickly seal the meat juices inside the piece. If you want Blue/Raw doneness, that is, almost raw meat with a crispy top crust, then at this stage the meat can be removed from the heat

Step 5

Step 5
Well, I continued to fry the meat further. Turn the steak back over to the first side and reduce the heat to medium and cook for 1 minute. Then the same amount on the other side. If you want to get a steak with a rare degree of roasting, i.e. raw with blood, then after this stage you can remove the steak from the heat. But I continue to fry further.

Step 6

Step 6
I needed medium rare roasting, it is warm inside, there is less blood, but it is still there. I fried this steak for another 1 minute on each side. As a result, the total time for frying the steak on each side was 2 minutes 30 seconds.

Step 7

Step 7
When finished frying, turn off the heat, remove the pan from the stove, and sprinkle the steaks with sea salt.

Step 8

Step 8
Cover the pan with a lid and leave the meat for 1-2 minutes so that all the juices are distributed evenly throughout the piece. Instead of a frying pan, you can transfer the meat to a plate and cover with foil.

Step 9

Step 9
Place the finished steaks to the desired degree of doneness on a plate served with fresh salad and vegetables and serve. Bon appetit!

Step 10

Step 10
And this is what Medium Well steaks look like if you fry them after sealing the juices for 6-7 minutes on each side. Blood is no longer released, but the meat has not lost its juiciness. When pressed, pale clear juice flows out. There is also the Well Done degree of frying, which is when the meat is so cooked that even the juice does not flow out of it. It turns out to be a bit dry in structure, but many people like it anyway.
