Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ribeye steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Rosemary (fresh, finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Start by preparing your campfire. Allow the fire to burn down until you have a bed of hot coals for consistent, even heat.
While the fire is burning down, pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps with achieving a great sear.
Drizzle the steaks with olive oil on both sides. Rub the oil evenly over the surface.
Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary.
Place each steak on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Add 1 tablespoon of butter on top of each steak for an extra layer of richness.
Wrap the foil tightly around the steaks to create a sealed packet, ensuring no juices escape during cooking.
Carefully place the foil packets onto the hot coals of the campfire. Cook the steaks for about 8-10 minutes on one side, then flip them and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness (8 minutes per side for medium rare, 10 minutes for medium).
Once cooked, carefully remove the foil packets from the coals using long tongs. Let the steaks rest in the foil for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Open the foil packets and serve the steaks hot, either directly from the foil for a rustic touch or plated alongside your favorite campfire sides.
