🔥 Tips for the Best Mississippi Ribeye:
✔ Choose Well-Marbled Steaks for the most tender, buttery texture.
✔ Don’t Overcook – Ribeye stays best when cooked just until tender.
✔ Sear Steaks First (Optional) – For extra depth, brown the steaks 2-3 minutes per side before slow cooking.
✔ Make a Gravy: Transfer cooking juices to a saucepan, add a cornstarch slurry, and simmer until thickened.
