Reverse Seared Ribeye with Yorkshire Pudding and Red Wine Gravy

Reverse Seared Ribeye with Yorkshire Pudding and Red Wine Gravy

Cooking a ribeye steak can be a little daunting if it’s your first time around, but using a few simple steps, you can be converted! Our first tip is to use the reverse-sear method as it’s a thick cut of steak so this will allow you to get a more even and consistent cook. Secondly, you must get your hands on a thermometer to ensure the steak is cooked to your liking. We’ve served it alongside some roasted brussel sprouts and carrots, with some yorkshire puddings and a red wine gravy. So if you’re wanting to recreate  some classic pub fair at home, this recipe is for you!
