Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 steaks (12-16 oz each) Rib eye steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
Instructions
Remove the rib eye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling to ensure even cooking.
Preheat your grill to high heat (500°F/260°C). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot and ashed over.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture, allowing for better browning.
Brush both sides of the steaks with olive oil. Season generously with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder on each side.
Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Place the rib eye steaks directly over the heat.
Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130°F/54°C), or adjust cooking time according to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature.
During the final minute of grilling, place 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on each steak, along with one sprig of rosemary and thyme. Allow the butter and herbs to melt into the steak for added flavor.
Remove the steaks from the grill and transfer them to a cutting board. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice against the grain or serve whole with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
