Description

A perfectly grilled ribeye steak seasoned simply and finished with butter and herbs for a juicy, tender, and flavorful steak with a beautifully charred crust. This classic American recipe emphasizes bold flavors and a satisfying texture that steak lovers will appreciate.


Ingredients

Steak

  • 4 ribeye steaks, about 250–300 g each
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Finishing Butter & Herbs

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme


Instructions

  1. Prepare the steaks: Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator 30–45 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature, ensuring even cooking. Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to promote a nice sear.
  2. Season the steaks: Rub both sides of each steak evenly with olive oil, then generously apply kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder for flavor.
  3. Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to high heat to achieve a beautiful char and to cook the steaks quickly without losing juices.
  4. Grill the steaks: Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting based on thickness and your preferred doneness level.
  5. Baste with butter and herbs: In the final minute of grilling, add butter, crushed garlic, and fresh rosemary or thyme to the steaks. Use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted herb butter to enhance flavor and moisture.
  6. Rest the steaks: Transfer the grilled steaks to a plate and let them rest for 5–10 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a tender and juicy steak.
  7. Serve: Slice the steaks and serve with the pan juices or more herb butter alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • A meat thermometer provides the most accurate assessment of doneness.
  • For medium-rare, target an internal temperature of approximately 54–57°C (130–135°F) after resting.
  • Do not slice the steak immediately after grilling to keep it juicy.
  • Complement this steak with roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
