How to Cook a Ribeye Steak in the Oven

Oven Ribeye? Yes, You Can.

Dry aged ribeye is already a showstopper with its rich, tender, and full of big beefy flavor. All it needs is the right cooking technique to shine. While grilling’s great, sometimes the weather (or your Tuesday energy) says: stay inside.

Here’s your no-fuss guide to making a juicy, golden-crusted ribeye right in your oven. We do it. You can too.

What You'll Need

1–2 Creamery Creek dry aged ribeyes (1.5" thick = perfect)
Salt + freshly ground pepper
High-heat oil (ghee, avocado, etc.)
Optional: butter, garlic, fresh thyme or rosemary for basting

Method: Oven + Stovetop = Magic

This method for a perfect ribeye steak uses a quick sear on the stovetop followed by a gentle oven finish, a technique called reverse searing or oven-finish searing, depending on how you do it. Here's our favorite combo:

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Let it breathe
Bring steak to room temp (30–45 min). Pat dry with paper towels.
Preheat oven to 400°F
Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Sear it hot
Cast iron: Heat oil in a cast iron skillet until shimmering. Sear steak 1–2 minutes per side for a deep brown crust.
No cast iron? Use any oven-safe skillet (like stainless steel) and sear in a nonstick pan, then transfer the steak to the oven in a preheated baking sheet or roasting pan.
Into the oven
Transfer skillet (or move steak to baking sheet) and roast 4–6 minutes, until internal temp hits 130–135°F for medium-rare.
Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer, no guesswork.
Add butter & herbs (optional but encouraged)
In the last 2 minutes, add butter, smashed garlic, and herbs like a rosemary sprig. Spoon that golden goodness over the steak.
Rest up
Let it rest 5–10 minutes before slicing. Juices stay in, flavor stays bold.

Serving It Up

Classic: Mashed potatoes + sautéed green beans
Low-key: Over arugula with shaved parmesan cheese
Creamery Creek-style: Topped with compound butter + roasted farm veggies

Pro Tips

Dry-aged steaks cook faster, start checking early!
Always rest your steak (foil tent = your friend).
Crust goals? Don’t crowd the pan. One steak at a time if needed.

Dry Aged Beef with Himalayan Salt

I love the science of the aging process. Just wanted to share some tidbits I've picked up along the way. Dry aged beef is already rich and tender, but Himalayan salt adds another layer of flavor and balance. From salt chambers that guide the aging process to a simple finishing sprinkle at the table, it helps beef shine without overpowering it.

Rub Recipes for Big Beef Bones

Big bones deserve big flavor. Beef back ribs, short rib plates, and chuck rib dino bones aren’t your everyday cuts, they’re statement pieces. When you put them on the smoker or grill, you want the kind of flavor that makes people wander over to see what’s cooking. That’s where a good rub comes in.

A rub doesn’t have to be complicated. Think salt, sugar, and spices. Salt builds the foundation, sugar balances and caramelizes, and spices bring the personality. From there, you can keep it simple or turn up the flavor.
