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
Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, combine ancho chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mix evenly over the steaks, ensuring all sides are coated.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Preheat a cast iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Ensure it is hot enough to provide a good sear.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the steaks and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Step 8
Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately.
