Let’s look at what the research says.   What the Research Says: Most Popular Food Gifts for Men Recent surveys indicate a strong preference among men for experiential gifts over material items. A study by GetYourGuide.com revealed that 60% of male respondents favor experiences as gifts, with top choices including outdoor adventures (50%), food or culinary tours (44%), and water activities (42%). Research suggests that experiential gifts foster stronger social connections than material items. A study from the University of Toronto found that experiences elicit stronger emotional responses, enhancing the bond between the giver and the recipient. According to a Cornell University study, investing in experiences—not things—leads to lasting happiness, because experiences deepen relationships and help define who we are.

How to Cook a Cast Iron Ribeye Steak to Perfection We’ve all been there, standing in the kitchen with a beautiful ribeye and the pressure to get it just right. Without the right tools or cooking method, it’s easy to end up with a steak that’s unevenly cooked or missing that rich, flavorful crust. At Snake River Farms, we believe using the cast iron skillet is one of the best ways to cook a ribeye. It delivers steady, even heat and creates the kind of sear that locks in bold flavor. In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how to master the cast iron ribeye from prep to plating, so every steak night is a success.   Table of Contents  Why Cast Iron is the Best for Cooking Ribeye Steak Temperature Guide  Choosing the Right Ribeye Steak  Understanding the Ribeye Cut   Preparing Your Cast Iron Ribeye for Cooking  Step-by-Step Guide to Cooking a Cast Iron Ribeye Steak    Why Cast Iron is the Best for Cooking Ribeye  When it comes to cooking ribeye steak, cast iron delivers consistent, crave-worthy results. Its ability to hold high heat and distribute it evenly means every bite is perfectly seared and full of rich, beefy flavor. Superior Heat Retention and Even CookingCast iron is known for its ability to maintain high, even heat. That steady temperature is exactly what you need to cook a well-marbled ribeye to perfection. Once your skillet is hot, it stays hot, creating a stable surface that allows the fat to render evenly and the meat to cook through without hot spots. The result is a juicy, tender steak with flavor in every bite.Pro Tip: The right cut makes all the difference. Whether you prefer the richness of American Wagyu or the classic appeal of USDA Choice or higher, shop our Ribeye Collection to find steaks designed for cast iron cooking. Perfect Crust Formation for Maximum FlavorThe hallmark of a great cast iron ribeye is that golden-brown crust. Cast iron’s high heat helps you achieve the Maillard reaction, the chemical process responsible for that rich, savory sear. Keeping the steak still while it sears creates a flavorful crust while locking in juices.Looking to impress? Start with a well-marbled ribeye that can hold up to the sear. Explore our full lineup of wagyu ribeyes and find the perfect cut for your next skillet session. “For a couple of 70-yr olds, we have not tasted Ribeye Steak this flavorful in a long, long time! Thank you for the experience!” Ann D., Verified Buyer    Versatility for Different Cooking Techniques There are several ways to cook a cast iron ribeye, and each technique offers a different approach to achieve the perfect steak. Whether you want a quick, crispy sear, a perfectly even cook, or the smoky flavor from grilling, these methods will allow you to cook your ribeye exactly how you want it. Here’s a breakdown of each method with easy-to-follow steps: Classic Pan-Seared Ribeye Pan-searing a ribeye in a cast iron skillet creates a rich, golden crust while keeping the inside juicy and tender. Here’s how to do it: Preheat the skillet: Lightly coat a cast iron skillet with a neutral vegetable oil and heat on high until the oil just begins to smoke. Season the steak: Season the ribeye generously with salt and pepper. Sear the steak: Place the ribeye in the hot skillet. Sear the first side for about 3 to 4 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms. Flip and cook: Flip the steak and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, depending on the thickness and your preferred doneness. Rest and serve: Remove the steak from the skillet, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.   Reverse Sear The reverse sear method starts by cooking the steak at a low temperature in the oven and finishing it with a sear in the skillet. It’s perfect for evenly cooked steak with a beautiful crust: Preheat oven and season: Preheat your oven to 275°F. Season the ribeye with salt and pepper. Cook in the oven: Place the ribeye on a rack in the oven and bake until it reaches your desired internal temperature (around 120°F for medium-rare). Sear in the skillet: Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add a bit of vegetable oil and sear the steak for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Rest and serve: Remove the steak from the skillet, cover with foil, and rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Butter Basting Butter basting gives the ribeye rich, delicious flavor while ensuring a perfectly crisp crust. Here’s how to do it: Preheat the skillet and season: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and season your ribeye with salt and pepper. Sear the steak: Sear the ribeye in the skillet for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown. Add butter and aromatics: After flipping, reduce the heat, then add butter, garlic and fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme) to the skillet. Baste the steak: Tilt the skillet and use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the steak for 1 to 2 minutes until the crust is perfect. Rest and serve: Remove the steak from the skillet, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.   Oven-Finished Ribeye For a perfectly seared steak that’s also evenly cooked throughout, the oven-finished method is ideal: Preheat skillet and season: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Season your ribeye with salt and pepper. Sear the steak: Sear the ribeye in the skillet for 2 to 3 minutes per side to develop a nice crust. Transfer to the oven: Place the skillet in a preheated 350°F oven and cook for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness and desired doneness. Rest and serve: Remove from the oven and let the steak rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.   Grill & Cast Iron Hybrid This method combines the smoky flavor of the grill with the crispy crust from a cast iron skillet. Here’s how to do it: Preheat oven and season: Preheat your oven to 275°F. Season the ribeye with salt and pepper. Cook in the oven: Place the ribeye on a rack in the oven and bake until it reaches your desired internal temperature (around 120°F for medium-rare). Sear in the skillet: Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add a bit of vegetable oil and sear the steak for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Rest and serve: Remove the steak from the skillet, cover with foil, and rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Want to take your cast iron cooking to the next level?

The best two ways to prepare is reverse sear or straight barbecue. Always delicious. Never any leftovers!!” Bruce A., Verified Buyer   Steak Temperature Guide  Here are the magic numbers you’ll need to determine when your ribeye steak is cooked to your preferred level of doneness. Remember, the internal temperature is when the ribeye should be removed from the heat, as the steak will continue to cook while resting and the temperature will rise. Preference Description Internal Temp. Rare Red, cool center 110°F Medium Rare Red, warm center 120°F Medium Pink throughout 130°F Medium Well Primarily grey, sliver of pink 140°F   Choosing the Right Ribeye Steak Choosing the right ribeye steak is key to achieving the perfect cast iron-cooked steak. The quality and characteristics of the cut can significantly impact the flavor, tenderness, and cooking time. Here’s what to look for when selecting your ideal ribeye. What to Look for in a High-Quality Ribeye Marbling and Fat ContentGood marbling is essential for achieving a juicy, flavorful ribeye. Look for steaks with evenly distributed fat streaks (white intramuscular fat), which will melt during cooking, enhancing both flavor and texture. The ideal ribeye has a good balance between marbling and lean meat for the perfect combination of richness and tenderness. Learn more about what beef marbling is and how it affects flavor. ThicknessA ribeye’s thickness directly impacts the cooking time and the texture of the steak. For a perfectly cooked steak, aim for a thickness of 1.5 to 2 inches. If it’s too thin, the steak may dry out quickly, and if it’s too thick, it might be harder to cook evenly. Steaks on the thicker side will also need more time to rest after cooking. Explore the best steak thickness for ideal results. Boneless vs Bone-InBone-in ribeyes, often called cowboy or tomahawk steaks, are a bit larger and offer more flavor due to the bone’s influence during cooking. The bone helps retain moisture, giving the steak an even more tender and flavorful finish. Boneless ribeyes, on the other hand, cook faster and are easier to handle, making them a great option for home cooks looking for convenience. Read our full breakdown of bone-in vs boneless ribeye steaks.   A Variety of Ribeye Options  There are many different ribeyes to choose from, and each type offers its own unique experience. Whether you prefer bone-in or boneless, or you’re looking for something special, here are a few options to consider: Traditional Ribeye: American Wagyu Gold® or Black Grade® boneless ribeye steaks are hand-cut to 1.5 inches thick and feature a large fat cap for robust, beefy flavor. Wagyu Cap of Ribeye Steak: Known for its tenderness and exquisite marbling, this boneless cut is often featured on fine dining menus. Rolled Cap of Ribeye: This elegant steak is hand-rolled and secured with butcher’s twine to highlight the deep marbling of the cap. Available in four sizes: the 2 x 4 oz. pack includes two steaks, while the 6, 8, and 10 oz. options each include one beautifully portioned steak per package. Ribeye Filet: A traditional ribeye, trimmed of excess fat and sinew, offering consistent marbling in a manageable size. Tomahawk Steak: A show-stopping ribeye with a two-plus-inch-thick cut and a long bone that resembles an axe handle, making it perfect for presentation. Cowboy Steak: Slightly smaller than the Tomahawk but just as impressive, this ribeye features a shorter bone and weighs in at around 2.5 pounds. Ready to choose your perfect cut? Browse our American Wagyu Ribeye collection to find the ideal steak for your next sear, savor, and impress.  Understanding the Ribeye Cut  To fully appreciate a ribeye steak, it helps to understand where it comes from and what makes it so flavorful.Ribeye steaks are cut from the rib primal, specifically ribs six through twelve. This area sits between the chuck and loin and is often referred to as the "middle meats." These muscles are not heavily used, which means the meat stays tender while still offering deep, beefy flavor.   Ribeye Anatomy  A traditional ribeye steak is a cross-section of the entire ribeye roll. It typically includes three key muscles: Longissimus dorsi - The large center eye of the ribeye, known for its consistent texture and tenderness. Spinalis dorsi - Also called the ribeye cap or deckle, this is the most marbled and flavorful part of the cut. Complexus - A smaller muscle that may be present depending on where the steak is cut. It adds a delicate texture when included. These muscles are held together by fine sinew and rich intramuscular fat. The marbling melts as the steak cooks, delivering the juicy, buttery quality that defines American Wagyu ribeye. Preparing Your Cast Iron Ribeye for Cooking A perfectly cooked ribeye starts before it hits the pan. Preparation is key to achieving that crave-worthy crust, deep flavor, and juicy interior that make cast iron steaks unforgettable. Whether you're cooking American Wagyu or another high-quality cut, how you handle your ribeye before it touches the heat makes all the difference. These simple steps will help you get the most out of every bite. Bring the Steak to Room TemperatureLet your steak sit out for 30 to 60 minutes before cooking. This helps the meat cook more evenly and prevents the muscle fibers from tightening up when it hits the hot skillet. Pat the Steaks DryUse paper towels to remove excess moisture from the surface of your ribeye. A dry steak makes better contact with the pan and results in a deeper, more flavorful crust. Properly Season Your Steak for Maximum FlavorKeep the seasoning simple and generous. Coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper are all you need to highlight the natural richness of the beef. Apply seasoning right before cooking to lock in the flavor. Preheating Your Cast Iron Skillet – How Hot Should It Be?For the perfect sear, it’s essential to preheat your cast iron skillet until it’s smoking hot. Use a high-smoke point oil like avocado or grapeseed oil to prevent burning, and reserve butter for basting during the final stages of cooking to add richness and flavor without burning.   Step-by-Step Guide to Cooking a Cast Iron Ribeye Steak Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, this step-by-step guide will help you achieve a perfect cast iron ribeye steak every time. From preparing the steak to serving it up, we’ll walk you through each phase to ensure your meal is full of flavor and perfectly cooked. Follow these easy steps to master the art of cooking a ribeye, and enjoy the juiciest, most tender steak right from your kitchen. The 4-3-2 Method Explained The 4-3-2 method is an easy-to-remember approach for getting the perfect cook on your ribeye. This method breaks down the cooking process into four minutes of searing on one side, three minutes on the other, and two minutes of resting. It’s a simple but effective way to achieve a beautiful, medium-rare steak with that sought-after crust. This method works best with steaks about 1-inch thick.   The Perfect Sear – How to Get a Perfect Crust Achieving that golden, crispy crust is the key to a delicious ribeye. The secret is to get your cast iron skillet hot, ensuring that the steak makes contact with the pan quickly and evenly. For a deep, flavorful crust, make sure not to move the steak around in the pan once it’s placed down.        Butter Basting for Extra Flavor Adding butter to your skillet during the final stages of cooking not only enhances flavor but also helps create a rich, golden-brown crust. Simply tilt the pan to allow the butter to pool and spoon it over the steak as it finishes cooking.   Seasoning Your Steak – When and How Seasoning is one of the most important steps in cooking a ribeye. A generous layer of coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper enhances the natural richness of American Wagyu without overpowering it. For added complexity, you can experiment with garlic powder, smoked salt, or your favorite steak rub. Apply seasoning just before the steak hits the pan to help create that crave-worthy crust.   Herbs and Aromatics to Enhance Flavor Fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or garlic can elevate the flavor of your ribeye. Add them to the butter-basting process to infuse the steak with aromatic richness. You can even add a sprig of rosemary or thyme directly into the pan during the final moments of cooking.   Checking Doneness – Rare, Medium-Rare, and Beyond To achieve your perfect steak doneness, it’s essential to monitor the internal temperature of the meat. We recommend using a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy. For more information on specific temperatures, check out our handy graphic that outlines the best temperatures for rare, medium-rare, and beyond.   Using a Meat Thermometer vs. Touch Test While a touch test can give you a general sense of doneness, a meat thermometer is the most reliable way to check. For best results, insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the steak, avoiding the bone if using a bone-in cut.   Resting and Serving Your Cast Iron Ribeye Once your ribeye is cooked to perfection, let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat for maximum tenderness. Slice against the grain for the best texture.   Best Ways to Slice and Serve for Maximum Tenderness To get the most tender bites from your ribeye, slice against the grain. Cutting in this direction shortens the muscle fibers, making the steak easier to chew and more flavorful.    “This steak has ruined restaurant dining for me. If you have a special occasion, buy the gold and dine in instead of going out - it’ll change your life. Absolutely phenomenal cut of meat and fantastic customer service. Ill be a customer for life.” - Janicke., Verified Buyer   Recipe Inspiration: Elevate Your Ribeye Experience Explore these chef-crafted recipes to take your ribeye cooking to the next level.

Top Father’s Day Food Gifts for Meat-Loving Dads    Table of Contents  Why American Wagyu Beef is the Ultimate Father’s Day Gift   The Best Father’s Day Food Gifts for Every Type of Meat Lover  Father’s Day Gift Boxes: Curated for Every Budget  Must-Have Cooking Gear to Complete Dad’s Gift   Father’s Day Recipes to Make These Incredible Cuts  Cooking with Dad: Creating Memories Through Food  Father's Day Shipping Guide: What You Need to Know    Why American Wagyu Beef is the Ultimate Father’s Day Gift Father’s Day is June 15th!  Finding a meaningful gift to get Dad excited is an annual challenge. Retailers report a high rate of product returns for stores following Father’s Day. Shirts and ties lead the charge with return rates up to 35%. Gadgets and electronics are right behind at up to 30%. It’s frustrating to see the gift you selected returned, or worse, sit in Dad’s closet collecting dust.   Generic gifts, like shirts, ties and gadgets, send a not-so-subtle message about how much you value your father. Of course, we’re all busy and sometimes last minute panic results in less than perfect gifts.   Beat the rush this year by giving an unforgettable experience featuring SRF American Wagyu beef. A gift of premium beef from Snake River Farms makes Dad feel truly special. SRF is a family owned and operated company that produces award-winning American Wagyu beef using humane and sustainable practices.   Snake River Farms is featured on the menus of Michelin starred restaurants throughout the world and is celebrated in the U.S. by award winning chefs because of its intense marbling, rich flavor and natural tenderness.   "Snake River Farms is beautifully marbled. It's Wagyu; it's just stunningly beautiful American beef." - Chef Hugh Acheson, James Beard Award Winning Chef & Writer  A huge benefit of giving Dad SRF steaks is the opportunity for everyone to share a meal. Creating a steakhouse quality dinner at home might be the best gift of all. Consumer research by the Wharton School found experiential gifts are preferred by fathers and builds a stronger connection with their family members. > Discover Dad-Approved Food Gifts The Best Father’s Day Food Gifts for Every Type of Meat Lover  Buying the perfect SRF steak for Father’s Day starts by understanding Dad’s cooking style. Is the man in question King of the Grill? Choose steaks that are larger and well marbled, delivering an impressive eating experience for everyone gathered around. If your father is a skilled home cook, he may prefer “chaffier” cuts like a Porterhouse, Denver (Zabuton), or Bavette. Regardless of the cut, the grade of the steak is a key factor in how it cooks and, more importantly, how it tastes. Beef grading is based on several factors but is primarily based on the amount of intramuscular fat, or marbling, a steak contains. The USDA lists three grades of beef with USDA Prime at the very top.  Snake River Farms beef grades start at USDA Prime, the top grade on the USDA scale. The majority of SRF beef is marbled well beyond this level. To grade SRF, we use the 12-point Japanese Beef Marbling Score (BMS), which measures marbling that exceeds the USDA scale.  SRF Silver® - BMS of 4 to 5. Marbling comparable to USDA Prime. SRF Black® - BMS of 6 to 8. Significantly more marbling than USDA Prime.   SRF Gold® - BMS of 9 to 12. The highest marbling available from Snake River Farms.      Steaks That Will Make Dad's Day  Treat Dad to an unforgettable meal with our most celebrated steaks. From richly marbled ribeyes to tender filet mignon, these cuts are worthy of his big day. American Wagyu & USDA Prime Steaks Dad Will Love: SRF Gold® Filet Mignon – For the dad who appreciates tenderness, this steak is the most tender of all steak cuts. Gently marbled, it has a mild flavor and possesses a distinctive buttery aroma and fork tender texture. It’s the perfect steak for intimate celebrations. > Make His Father's Day Unforgettable with SRF Gold® Filet Mignon SRF Gold® Ribeye Filet – Perfect balance of flavor & texture, this steak is cut from the center eye of the ribeye. Richly marbled so it has a deep beef flavor and a tender, juicy texture. The outside fat cap has been removed, so this is the steak for dads who love the richness of a ribeye without the exterior fat. > Treat Dad to a Gold® Ribeye Filet Today SRF Gold® & USDA Prime NY Strip – A timeless favorite for steak lovers that offers generous marbling, full-bodied beef flavor and a firm grain. This steak is free of large fat nodules and is adorned with a small fat cap so it grills evenly and is easy to slice. It is a popular cut at steak houses since it is both rich in flavor and consistently tender, making it a crowd-pleaser for any special occasion. > Fire Up the Grill for Dad with a Classic NY Strip SRF Gold® Cowboy & Tomahawk Steaks – Serve a steakhouse-quality experience at home with these large bone-in ribeyes. These two steaks make an unrivaled impression and are a premier Father’s Day gift. The cowboy steak is like the tomahawk, but the rib bone is cut so an inch or two of bone is exposed. While it might not be quite as photogenic as the tomahawk, it is also an impressive thick and weighty steak.The tomahawk is a bone-in ribeye steak with a long frenched rib bone. It’s cut the full width of a rib bone which makes it at least 2 inches thick with an average weight of about 2 ½ pounds. It gained popularity at high end butcher shops and steak houses since it is visually stunning and puts folks in touch with their primal side. To maximize the impact of these bone-in ribeyes, carve them on a large cutting board on the table. While you can slice across the entire steak, try separating the cap of ribeye (known as “the tastiest cut on the cow”) from the center eye and cutting it into bite-sized pieces so everyone gets a taste. > Serve Dad a Steakhouse Feast with Our Cowboy & Tomahawk Steaks "Cooked these for Father's Day and now every year this is what my father wants. He said it was better than going to a steakhouse!." - Christopher C., Verified Buyer; BBQ & Slow-Cooked Favorites for the Grill Master Dad   These cuts are made for dads who take their time and savor the process. Whether he’s firing up the smoker or slow-roasting to perfection, these richly marbled favorites bring big flavor to Father’s Day. Brisket & Ribs for Low & Slow Cooking:  SRF Gold® Brisket – For dads who love the craft of smoking, these briskets are highly marbled with outstanding flavor and exceptional juiciness. These are the same award winning briskets used by Grand Champion competition barbecue teams. Gold Grade® briskets are unique since they have the highest amount of marbling offered by SRF. Pitmasters know that “fat equals flavor’ so the intense marbling produces robust beefiness with a tender, juicy texture.   Here are some of our secrets to smoking a perfect brisket:  Thaw slowly in the refrigerator. This can take several days, so start about a week before your cook.   Temperature is a good guide, but use color and texture as your final guide to wrapping and determining doneness. Allow at least 2 hours for the brisket to rest.  For more information and a detailed video, see our brisket guide, then shop premium brisket and get ready to smoke the perfect one.  SRF Black® Wagyu Plate Short Ribs – Bold, rich, and perfect for smoking or braising these massive bone-in ribs have a primal appearance.

Chefs love how these ribs produce continental recipes like French pot-au-feu and ethnic preparations like Korean marinades. Pit masters appreciate their meaty, yet tender texture when slow smoked.  The versatility of SRF Black® short ribs is something appreciated by all. Cook them with simple prep or fancy technique and they turn out beautifully. Smoke them low and slow or braise in an upscale culinary style. Regardless, these are the ideal cut for beef lovers.  > Grill Perfect Short Ribs: Order Today USDA Choice Tri-Tip – Ideal for grilling or roasting, the tri-tip is a cross between a roast and a steak.
