A simple and approachable recipe for juicy, flavorful ribeye steak grilled to perfection and finished with a luscious garlic butter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless ribeye steaks, about 1 to 1½ inches thick (12–16 oz / 340–450 g each)
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (about 60 g), softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or thyme (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing

Instructions

  1. Remove ribeye steaks from the fridge 30-45 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels and season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides just before grilling.
  2. Preheat your grill to high heat, about 450°F (230°C). Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. For charcoal grills, wait until coals are glowing red with a light layer of ash.
  3. Place the ribeye steaks on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving to develop a crust. Flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes for medium-rare (internal temp ~130°F / 54°C). Adjust time for thickness.
  4. While steaks cook, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and chopped fresh herbs. Cook gently for 2-3 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  5. During the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush the garlic butter generously over both sides of the steaks to add flavor and moisture.
  6. Remove steaks from the grill and place on a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes to redistribute juices.
  7. Slice against the grain and pour any remaining garlic butter over the top. Garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Bring steaks to room temperature before grilling for even cooking. Pat steaks dry to get a good sear. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness. Rest steaks after grilling to keep them juicy. Baste with garlic butter near the end to avoid burning the garlic. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or ghee. If no grill is available, pan-sear in a cast iron skillet and finish in the oven at 400°F for 5-7 minutes.
