1. Remove ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 20-30 minutes. Pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 450-500°F).
3. Season the ribeye steaks generously with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper, then brush with olive oil on both sides.
4. While the grill is heating, prepare the onion rings. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. This is your dry coating mixture.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk to create the wet batter.
6. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
7. Dip each onion ring into the wet batter, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the dry mixture. Set aside on a plate until all rings are coated.
8. Carefully drop a few onion rings at a time into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining onion rings.
9. Place the ribeye steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F. Adjust the cooking time according to your preferred doneness.
10. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
11. Serve the grilled ribeye steaks alongside the crispy onion rings. Enjoy your hearty and flavorful meal!
