Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ribeye steak
- 2 tablespoons Ancho chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine ancho chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mix evenly over the steaks, ensuring all sides are coated.
Drizzle olive oil over the steaks, massaging it into the spices to create a marinade. Let the steaks marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat a cast iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Ensure it is hot enough to provide a good sear.
Place the steaks in the skillet or on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness, or until the desired doneness is reached.
Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest on a plate under aluminum foil for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the steaks and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately.
