Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (12 oz each) rib eye steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
Take the rib eye steaks out of the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450–500°F) and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Rub the steaks with olive oil, ensuring each steak is evenly coated. In a small bowl, mix the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Generously season the steaks on all sides with this spice mixture.
Place the steaks directly over the high heat and grill for 4–5 minutes per side for a medium-rare doneness, or adjust the time to your preferred level of doneness.
During the last minute of grilling on each side, top each steak with 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and enhance the flavor.
Optionally, when flipping the steak the final time, add a sprig of rosemary and thyme atop each steak for an aromatic touch.
Once the steaks have reached your desired doneness, remove them from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5–7 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meat tender.
Serve warm with your favorite sides such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
