Herb butter
Remove the butter from the fridge two hours before cooking.
Mix the room-warm butter with thyme, chives, lemon juice, finely chopped garlic clove, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.
Place the herb butter on baking paper and form into a roll.
Place in the freezer for 15 minutes. Later cut the butter into slices and prepare for serving.
Prepare potatoes
Peel the raw potatoes with a peeler. Cut the potatoes into 4-5 mm thick slices.
Fry potatoes
Fry the prepared raw potato slices at 170°C in sunflower oil.
Remove the blanched potatoes from the fat and leave to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Finish potatoes
Fry the fried potatoes again until crisp and light brown, then drain on kitchen paper.
Put the fried potatoes in a pan, season with salt, pepper, caraway, nutmeg and marjoram, add some butter for the flavour finish.
Put the fried potatoes in the pan or in the oven at 140°C warm.
Prepare Steak
Unpack the Rib Eye Steaks, wash under cold running water and pat dry.
Heat a suitable pan, season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper, add oil to the pan and place the steaks in it.
Turn the steaks after 3-4 minutes, reduce the heat and fry the steaks to the desired cooking temperature.
Please read the information in the article!

3. What is A Rib Eye Steak
The Rib Eye Steak is a short roast meat from the beef high rib.
The name derives from the round roast beef.
The Rib Eye Roast is a roast piece/steak from the core of the rib, boneless and without rib lid.
Super, who has no idea of meat pieces is now also not smarter,
therefore I have you the following diagram and a picture of the Rib Eye Steak inserted here….
4. What should I bear in mind when buying steak?
Here are my professional chef shopping tips, so you can get a tender and juicy steak on your plate…
- Buy the steak close to the expiration date.
- If possible, buy a dry aged steak.
- Buy the steak a few days before preparation and let it ripen further in the fridge.
I allow my steaks to mature for at least a week after the specified expiry date.
The steaks must either be vacuumed or I put the steaks in oil.
The meat must always be covered with oil when the steaks are placed in the oven.
5. How to Roast Steak Properly
Since there are many fairy tales on the subject of steak roast in recent years on television and the Internet,
I show here in the following … Steak roast correctly step by step with photos…
6. Steak Cooking Level at a Glance and to Remember…
Some time ago I made a Steak Gargrade table, which helps you with the steak preparation…
| Designation | Core Temperature |
|---|---|
| Rare | 45-49°C 130-120°F |
| Medium Rare | 50-54°C 122-129°F |
| Medium | 55-59°C 131-138°F |
| Medium well | 60-72°C 140-161°F |
| Well done | 73-85°C 163-185°F |
So use a thermometer to determine the temperature in the fried steak.
Alternatively you can determine the cooking degree of the roasted steak by the pressure test.
The following three cooking degrees are common, which you can determine quite well by pressing on the roasted steak:
Steak Rare/core raw:
The meat yields slightly, comparable to pressing your left index finger between your nose and lip.
Steak medium/roasted pink:
The roasted meat is firmer in consistency, red meat pearls appear on the steak. Similar if you press the tip of your nose with your index finger.
Steak Well Done/ Meat fried:
The steak hardly gives way when pressed, comparable to pressing the chin tip with your index finger.
7. Steak Side Dish Fried Potatoes
I chose fried potatoes as a simple side dish to this steak. You can also cook the potatoes before roasting or use potatoes already cooked the day before.
Here I show you how to prepare fried potatoes from raw potatoes.
- Peel the potatoes with a peeler.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly thick slices of about 4-5 mm.
- Deep-fry the potato slices in sunflower oil at 170°C.
- Remove the blanched potato slices from the fat and let them cool for 10 minutes.
- Fry the fried potatoes again until crispy.
- Place the fried potatoes on a paper towel to drain.
- Before serving, toss the fried potatoes in a pan with foamed butter.
- Add onion strips, season the fried potatoes with marjoram, caraway, salt, pepper.
You can keep the fried potatoes warm in the pan or put them in the oven, the temperature range of 140°C hot air has proven itself for keeping the fried potatoes warm.
Update: In an extra post I show you how to prepare fried potatoes step by step.
8. Herb Butter with Steak
I tend to simplify in my kitchen, yet no bought herb butter comes close to a homemade herb butter.
8.1 Making your own Herb Butter
Take the butter out of the fridge two hours before cooking.
Mix the soft butter with finely chopped garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and kitchen herbs.
You can use parsley, chives, thyme, rosemary, common kitchen herbs from the garden or the supermarket.
Then put the prepared butter in a sausage shape on the matt side of a piece of aluminium foil.
Wrap the aluminium foil over it and form evenly into a roll with a stick or your hands.
Wrap the aluminium foil sausage tightly and turn the ends against each other.
Put the herb butter in a cool place, unpack as required and cut into slices.
Tips for herb butter:
You can also freeze the herb butter, thaw it if necessary and cut off the desired amount of butter.
An alternative would be to fill the herb butter into ice cube trays with foil. This way you can easily remove the herb butter.
The most beautiful variation is to shape the herb butter nicely with a skin pass bag and spout and then freeze it in portions.
