Description
This Juicy Grilled Ribeye recipe delivers a tender, flavorful steak with a perfect sear and rich buttery finish. Featuring minimal seasoning to highlight the natural marbling of the ribeye, it creates a steakhouse-quality meal right from your grill, ideal for a satisfying and elegant main course.
Ingredients
Steak
- 2 ribeye steaks (12–16 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Finishing
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Steaks: Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to high, aiming for a temperature between 450–500°F (230–260°C) for an optimal sear.
- Season the Steaks: Pat each steak dry with paper towels, brush both sides with olive oil, then evenly season with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Grill the Steaks: Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness, or adjust the time based on your preferred level.
- Add Butter and Rosemary: In the final minute of grilling, top each steak with a tablespoon of unsalted butter and a sprig of fresh rosemary to infuse more flavor.
- Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5–10 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier steak.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer for precise cooking: 130–135°F (54–57°C) for medium-rare or 140–145°F (60–63°C) for medium.
- Letting the steak rest after grilling keeps the meat juicy and tender.
- Perfectly pairs with grilled asparagus, baked potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
