See our Beef Temperature Chart for helpful tips on cooking any cut of beef!

Preheat the oven to 275°F. Place a wire cooling rack onto a baking sheet, then place 1 ribeye steak onto the wire rack. Season both sides of the ribeye with 1 tablespoon seasoning.
1 Ribeye steak, 1 Tablespoon Santa Maria seasoning
Add to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 90°F. Along with the steak, place your cast-iron skillet in the oven to allow it to heat as the beef cooks.
Once the ribeye reaches 90°F, remove it from the oven. Carefully remove the cast-iron skillet with oven mitts and place onto a burner on the stove, and add the avocado oil over high heat.
2 Tablespoons Avocado oil
Once the oil is hot and smoking, add the ribeye and sear for 2 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reads 135°F on an instant-read thermometer.
Carefully remove the reverse sear ribeye from the skillet and let it rest on a plate for 10 minutes. Top with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and allow it to melt. If using, top with fresh rosemary. Slice, and serve!
2 Tablespoon Unsalted butter, Fresh rosemary

To ensure the perfect temperature every time, use a meat thermometer.
Always let your steak rest after cooking. This helps seal in all of the flavor, so don’t slice it too early!
Cut against the grain when cutting steak. The grain looks like little lines running through the steak itself, so cut in the opposite direction to those lines. This will give you the best bite every time.
