How to Cook Thin Cut Ribeyes in the Oven

Ribeye steak can be prepared using many different styles and cooking methods.

Ribeye steaks are a boneless rib cut of steak and are one of the most tender cuts of beef. There are many ways to cook ribeye steaks, including broiling them in the oven. Broiling your steaks is quicker than grilling them and requires less maintenance than cooking them in a skillet. This recipe provides an Italian marinade glaze, though there are many different combinations of spices that you can use to change the flavor of your steak.

Things You'll Need

  • 10 cloves garlic

  • 1 tbsp. oregano

  • 1 tbsp. basil

  • 1 tbsp. parsley

  • 1 tsp. rosemary

  • 1 tbsp. salt

Tip

Cook steaks to an internal temperature of 145 degrees for medium-rare, or 160 degrees for well-done. Measure this by inserting an instant-read thermometer horizontally from the side of the steak to the center. Or make a small slit near the center of the steak and check the color of the meat. Medium rare is pink in the center with a slight browning towards the exterior. Medium is light pink in the center with a deeper browning towards the exterior.

Pat the raw steaks dry with a paper towel to promote browning.

Warning

Do not overcook steaks. This can reduce the taste and texture of the meat.
