Skippy and I buy beef rib eyes (prime) from Snake River Farms and have discovered the reverse sear works great for us. The advantage is its easy to cook for a group all at once since you're not sitting over them the whole time. Note: the thicker the steaks the longer in the oven than the 45min to an hour... work off a thermometer.
1. Preheat your oven to 250°F.
2. Place your steaks on a rimmed baking sheet fitted with a rack. Season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until an instant-read thermometer reads 125°F for medium rare. (Check them around the 40-minute mark first, as oven temperatures and steak thickness will vary.) Let rest 5 minutes.
4. In an EXTREMELY hot cast iron skillet or grill, cook steaks one minute per side, until a dark brown crust forms.
5. Let rest another 10 minutes, slice, and serve
