PRO TIPS FOR PERFECT RIB EYE

1. Dry the steak before cooking

Moisture prevents browning—pat completely dry.

2. Season heavily

Rib eye is thick and rich; needs bold seasoning.

3. Let rest 5–10 minutes

Prevents juices from spilling out.

4. Use a thermometer

Perfect steak is about precision, not guesswork.

5. Avoid piercing the meat

Tongs only—no forks.
