Just bought 3 pounds of Kobe Beef (Rib eye) cut to 1 pound a piece. I've been researching on the web on how to cook this beef and all of them are saying not to cook it like the regular American, beef. Does anyone have a recipe to cook this beef wonder? So far this is what I have.

Dry-rub both sides of the steak with cracked black pepper and salt. Lightly cover bottom of pan with just enough olive oil to prevent steak from sticking. Immediately place the steaks in the preheated pan. Sear each steak for 3-4 minutes per side, turning with tongs (never press down on steak with spatula or stick with a fork). Then, using a hot pad, place the skillet and steaks in the 450o preheated oven and cook for 2 minutes for rare, 3 to 4 minutes for medium.

Remove the skillet from the oven with a hot pad.

Place steak on a warm plate and immediately top with 1 teaspoon of herbed butter. Lightly dust with sea salt, to taste.

Allow steaks to stand 3 to 4 minutes and serve.
