This is how you should always cook a rib eye. This new rub I invented with my heart AND my brain will make this indulgent special-occasion steak sing. The gentle ways of the reverse sear allow all that beautiful rib eye fat to slowly render, something you can’t achieve with a quick hard sear or grill.
For the steak sauce powder: Add the salt, granulated garlic, dehydrated onion, oregano, smoked paprika, black pepper, brown sugar and cumin to a mortar and pestle and gently grind to break up larger pieces and release flavors and aroma. Seal in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
For the rib eye: Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil and fit a rack inside.
Brush the steaks with the avocado oil and coat in a good amount of the steak sauce powder. Place on the rack-lined sheet pan and roast until the internal temperature registers 115 to 120 degrees F, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little avocado oil to the bottom and sear the steak until properly charred, about 3 minutes per side (don’t forget the sear the steak on the edges too). Transfer to a warm plate.
Serve each with a slice of butter on top. Remove from the bone and slice against the grain if desired.
