### How to Prepare the Perfect Ribeye
1. **Bring the steak to room temperature** — about 30 minutes out of the fridge.
2. **Pat dry** with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
3. **Generously coat both sides** of the steak with the spice rub, pressing gently to adhere.
4. **Preheat your grill or skillet** to high heat. For stovetop, use a heavy cast-iron pan.
5. **Sear the steak:** About 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust time for thickness and doneness preference).
6. **Let it rest:** Tent with foil and rest 5-10 minutes before slicing — this lets juices redistribute.
7. **Serve** with your favorite sides and enjoy!

### Tips for Steak Perfection
* Use a meat thermometer for precision: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
* Don’t overcrowd the pan — cook steaks one or two at a time for a proper sear.
* Add a pat of herb butter on top after cooking for extra richness.
* Pair with grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
