Question: how long does it take to cook a ribeye steak medium rare?
Answer: Place steaks in the hot skillet (do not overcrowd). Do not add oil or water. Do not cover. For the perfect medium-rare steak, sear in a skillet for 12-14 minutes for a 1-inch steak, and 14-16 minutes for a 1½ inch steak, turning about 1 minute before the halfway point.
