The Secret to the Perfect Ribeye
Want to know the secret to the best ribeye steak you'll ever make? Season it 1-2 days ahead of time with our Kalmes Famous 2-in-1 Steak Seasoning & Tenderizer. This simple technique transforms a good steak into an unforgettable meal.
Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks (1-1.5 inches thick)
- Kalmes Famous 2-in-1 Steak Seasoning & Tenderizer
- Optional: butter for finishing
Instructions
- Season Ahead (1-2 days before cooking): Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Generously apply Kalmes Famous Steak Seasoning & Tenderizer to both sides of each steak, gently pressing it into the meat.
- Refrigerate: Place seasoned steaks on a wire rack over a plate or baking sheet. Refrigerate uncovered for 1-2 days. This allows the seasoning to penetrate deep into the meat while the surface dries slightly for a better crust.
- Bring to Room Temperature: Remove steaks from refrigerator 30-45 minutes before cooking.
- Cook: Heat a cast iron skillet or grill to high heat. Cook steaks 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your preferred doneness.
- Rest: Let steaks rest 5-10 minutes before serving. Optional: top with a pat of butter while resting.
Why This Works
Our Iowa family recipe seasoning blend not only adds incredible flavor but also tenderizes the meat. Seasoning 1-2 days ahead allows the tenderizer to work its magic while the flavors penetrate deep into the steak. The uncovered refrigeration creates a dry surface that sears beautifully for that perfect steakhouse crust.
Pro Tip: Don't skip the resting time - it allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak for maximum tenderness and flavor.
