Description

This Grilled Ribeye Steaks recipe delivers perfectly seared and juicy steaks with a simple yet flavorful preparation using olive oil, butter, salt, and black pepper. The steaks are cooked on a grill using a two-zone heat method to achieve a beautiful crust and ideal doneness, then finished with butter and resting to lock in juices for a delicious meal.

Ingredients

Steak Ingredients

  • 2 ribeye steaks (1–1½ inches thick, at room temperature)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Steaks: Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator 30 to 45 minutes before grilling to bring them to room temperature. Pat them dry thoroughly and brush both sides evenly with olive oil. Generously sprinkle salt and black pepper on both sides and let them sit while you heat the grill.
  2. Set Up Grill: For charcoal grills, pile hot coals on one side to create a two-zone fire. For gas grills, turn one side of the burners to high and leave the other side off. Preheat the grill with the lid closed for about 10 minutes to reach high heat.
  3. Sear Steaks: Place the ribeye steaks on the hot side of the grill to sear. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until nicely browned. If flare-ups occur, move steaks to the cooler side briefly and cover with the lid to let flames subside.
  4. Cook to Desired Doneness: After searing, move the steaks to the cooler side of the grill and close the lid. Continue cooking until steaks reach your desired doneness—125–130°F internal temperature for medium-rare is recommended. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  5. Rest and Serve: Remove the steaks from the grill and top each with 1 tablespoon of butter. Loosely cover the steaks with foil and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Finally, slice the steaks against the grain and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Bringing steaks to room temperature helps in even cooking throughout.
  • Using a two-zone grill setup lets you sear and then gently finish cooking without burning.
  • Resting the steak is essential to keep them juicy and tender.
  • You can adjust cooking times based on steak thickness and preferred doneness.
  • If you don’t have a meat thermometer, use the finger test method to gauge doneness.
