First Step: For the perfect seared ribeye steak, warm butter and oil in a cast-iron skillet.

Second Step:  Season steak with salt and pepper.

Third Step: Place ribeye into the hot pan and cook for approximately 6 to 8 minutes on each side, not moving the steak between turns. Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature for doneness.
