This reverse-sear ribeye steak is our go-to method for getting a perfect crust and juicy center. It’s finished with a generous sprinkle of Unicorn Salt or Spicy Unicorn Steak Salt — both bring bold herbal flavor without overpowering the meat.
🧂 Ingredients
- 1 thick-cut ribeye steak (1.25" to 2" thick)
- 1 tsp Unicorn Salt or Spicy Unicorn Steak Salt
- Neutral oil (avocado or grapeseed)
- Optional: 1 tbsp butter, 2 smashed garlic cloves, fresh rosemary
⏱️ Prep & Cook Time
5 min prep · 45 min cook · Serves 1–2
🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Salt + Rest
Generously season both sides of your steak with Unicorn Salt. Let rest on a rack in the fridge (or countertop) for 30–60 minutes while the salt works into the meat.
Step 2: Oven Cook
Preheat your oven to 250°F. Place the steak on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Cook until internal temp hits ~115°F (about 30–40 minutes depending on thickness).
Step 3: Reverse Sear
Heat a cast iron pan until smoking. Add a splash of oil, then sear steak 45–60 seconds per side to build a crust. Optional: baste with butter, garlic, and rosemary during the last 30 seconds.
Step 4: Rest + Slice
Remove steak from pan, let rest 5 minutes, then slice against the grain and serve immediately.
