Yes, I admit it — nothing is sexier than well defined grill lines on a beautiful piece of meat. But for the best steak you’ve ever had, hands down, forgo the grill and break out the cast iron pan.

Surely you don’t mean to roast it for only 2 minutes, or did I miss something?
This is the best rib steak recipe…I have been using it for years. It always turns out perfect!
I love rib eye steak – I can’t wait to try it this way. I also love it on the grill but I know my husband doesn’t always feel like grilling – what a great alternative.
Sounds great! We always grill our Grow and Behold Pastured Rib Eye Steaks over direct and indirect heat on the grill….but for days when it’s raining, this looks like a great technique! Thanks for sharing.
I so agree with you! A good Cast Iron Fried Steak is the best any day! Shalom!
