How to Broil Rib Eye Steak in an Electric Oven

Rib eye steak can be grilled, pan fried, broiled or roasted.

A rib eye steak can be boneless or bone-in. The advantage of bone-in is that moisture and fat cling to the bone, enhancing the flavor. Bone-in also increases the weight, allowing sellers to charge more for less meat. Rib eye steak can be grilled, pan fried, broiled or roasted. Aged beef can take on several colors and consistencies, but be careful if the meat is wet, slimy or has an odor; these are signs of rotting meat.

Things You'll Need

• Aluminum foil
• Rib eye steak
• Tongs
• Broiler pan
• 2 tbsp. olive oil per steak
• Black pepper (as desired)
• Salt (as desired)
• 1 tbsp. garlic powder per steak
• ¼ tsp. basil per steak
• ¼ tsp. thyme per steak
• ¼ tsp. rosemary per steak
• Bowl

Instructions

1. Cover the broiler pan with aluminum foil.

2. Preheat the broiler for 10 minutes.

3. Mix rosemary, thyme, basil, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a bowl.

4. Pour 1 tbsp. olive oil on the steak and spread evenly. Pour half the ingredient mix evenly over the steak.

5. Place the steak on the broiler pan and insert it into the oven, approximately 4 inches from the element. Keep the oven door slightly ajar.

6. Cook the steak six to seven minutes for medium. If you want a rare steak, try three to four minutes, and for well done, cook it eight to nine minutes.

7. Flip the steak over with tongs. Repeat Steps 4 and 6.

8. Determine the doneness of the steak by pressing the center of the steak with your finger. If it is soft and pliable, your meat is rare; pliable yet not very soft is medium; and non-pliable is well.

9. Remove the steak and serve.
