How Long Should You Cook A Rib Eye?
The cooking time for a rib eye steak depends on various factors such as thickness, desired level of doneness, and cooking method. Generally, a 1-inch thick rib eye steak should be grilled or pan-seared for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, 5-6 minutes for medium, and 8-10 minutes for well-done. However, it is recommended to use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the meat reaches 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, and 160°F for well done. Resting the steak for 5-10 minutes before cutting is important for a juicy and tender final product.
