We are big-time steak lovers at my house. Rarely do I go to a steak house and leave more satisfied than had I actually made myself a steak dinner at home. Maybe I’m too particular about it. Preparing a steak at home lets you control the sear and doneness completely. Cook it exactly to your preferences from bloody to shoe-leather…you do you.
- Any cut of steak will work: ribeye, filet, flank, or NY Strip. Adjust cook time depending on size and thickness.
- Leftovers will store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop until warmed through, or in the microwave.
- Let your steaks rest for at least 5 minutes before cutting into them. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more flavorful and juicy.
- Choosing your horseradish: You can find prepared horseradish in the sauce aisle of your supermarket.
- What to serve with ribeye steaks: I like to serve this steak with a simple baked potato, mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, or a side salad.
- If uncertain about the level of doneness, use an instant-read meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of about 130-135°F (54-57°C). The steak will continue to cook a bit as it rests.
