I need a recipe to prepare a Ribeye steak on the stove or in the oven. I don't have an iron skillet.?

Question

I'd love to have an iron skillet. Can you mail me $15? I'm a college student and I don't have $15. Plus, my son is asleep and I couldn't go out to get one if I had the money.

I said I didn't have an iron skillet because the recipes I looked up online called for broiling it in an iron skillet and then cooking in the skillet on the stove.

I don't have a broiler pan (hus ruined it). I have skillets of all sizes, glass 9X9 pans, loaf pans, and cookie sheets. Oh, and I have aluminum foil, too. I also, have a big spice collection and butter, garlic, Dale's, soy, duck sauce, oyster sauce, and worsteshire (sp?).

Answer 1

Not in the oven, the Broiler. If you do it in the broiler, it will cook really fast so be careful and make sure you turn it. 5 minutes per side depending on whether it is thawed and how thick it is and how well done you want it. Fat drips away in the broiler but clean up is a pain.

In a skillet on top of the stove, (don't need an iron skillet, even a pan from the dollar store will be fine) put a dab of butter in the pan and fry your steak. Clean up is easier, but you have the butter thing. 5 minutes on each side depending on how done you want it. If you put a lid on it, it will cook faster, but it will be more steamed than fried.

good luck

If you have a broiler pan in your oven you can use that. Smash some garlic and let it sit in 2 tablespoons of olive oil for 30-60 minutes, brush the broiler side with the garlic oil. Then just lightly salt and pepper the top of the steaks. Broil for 4-7 minutes about 3 inches under an open flame depending on thickness and desire doneness. Turn, Broil for 2-3 minutes and serve longer cooked side up.

A cast iron skillet is great but not for Ribeye!!

Broil the thing. This is a dry heat cut of meat!!

if you don't have the broiler pan: tray pan with slotted cover tray, then use a cookie sheet with foil, build up the sides of the foil for lip to hold the fats. put a rack on it, sprayed with non stick spray and broil your Ribeye. Do not put the salt and pepper or other seasonings on til it is nearly done. Broil about 10 minutes per side for medium rare which is just hot pink in the middle.

Answer 4

Any steak under 1" is thin cut in my book. If the steak is ~ 1/4" I suggest utilizing the broiler method, Bring the meat to room temp and lightly coat with oil. Sprinkle fresh ground pepper, kosher salt, and garlic to taste. Broil at <400 for 2 minutes per side. Anything over 1/2 can be easily done with a hot skillet and finished in a 500 degree oven. As much as I love grilling and smoking, I prefer to skillet cook and oven finish a quality steak. I occasionally use my ceramic grill/cooker to cook steaks, but only with thick cut steaks and my sear is at 700+ degrees and then finished for a few minutes at 500 degrees in the oven.

Answer 5

Never cook a perfectly good steak in a skillet. User your oven's broiler. A good thick steak can be cooked in approx 15 min. (5-7 min on each side). If you don't have a broiler pan, use a cookie sheet with sides and a wire rack sitting on it. Line cookie sheet with foil for easier cleanup.

Use Ms. Dash or Lemon Pepper for seasoning.

When you do get a skillet, get a wok instead - especially if you have a gas stove!

Answer 6

I just use a little salt & pepper or garlic powder on both sides. Put the oven on broil & put the steal on a small cookie sheet covered with foil. Cook about 3 minutes & turn for another three or four minutes. That is for med rare. Dales works great also.

Answer 7

Why not broil it in the oven? Sprinkle some garlic powder, salt and pepper on it, and broil until brown, turn over, take it out when both sides are brown.

Answer 8

Use a pan and just put some water on there and put your seasonings on it make it real tender and put it in the oven for about a hour in half or and hour it will be when done and ready to eat.

Answer 9

Just a thought... Iron skillets cost less than $15 dollars.
