16 oz Ribeye
The quicksear ribeye is full of flavor, perfectly marbled, and can be finished in a hot pan or on a hot grill. Reheat, Sear, Slice & Enjoy!
Reheat: Thaw and reheat the ribeye using the instructions in the basic cooking instruction guide above. Remove the ribeye from the vacuum sealed bag and pat dry with a paper towel.
Sear: If using a grill, preheat to its highest setting, and then sear the ribeye on direct heat for about 1 minute per side for medium rare, or about 2-3 minutes per side for medium (turn often to avoid burning the steak). If using the pan-sear method, heat a heavy bottom pan (use cast iron for best results) over high heat with about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil or beef tallow. Once the pan is very hot, add the ribeye and use the same searing times as the grilling instructions
Slice: Place the seared ribeye on a cutting board, slice against the grain, and serve immediately (because your quicksear has been sous vide, they do not need to rest after searing) while hot with your favorite sides, or check out our chef-inspired recipe library.
Chef’s Comment: if you are using a quicksear compound butter, add 2 tablespoons to the pan after you flip the ribeye and baste with a spoon for 20 seconds to coat the entire steak. If using the grill, place the butter on top of the steak after you flip it and let it melt on top before eating.
