A ribeye steak is hard to improve upon. It doesn’t need bells and whistles, it doesn’t even require that much time. But it does require attention and instinct. I have overcooked many a steak.

So without further ado, let’s tackle this Seared Ribeye with Chili Crisp Butter and Soy Sauce Noodles.

Instead of turkey, you reach for Cornish hens or a duck. In the place of ham, you grab a couple of smoked pork chops. And in the case of prime rib, you have a multitude of excellent steaks to choose from. So without further ado, I present you with my version of prime rib for two – this Sichuan Peppercorn Ribeye with Shiitake Creme Fraiche Gravy.
