A simple and reliable recipe for grilling a juicy, tender ribeye steak with a smoky crust and buttery finish, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ribeye steak (1 to 1.5 inches thick, about 12–16 oz / 340-450g)
  • Coarse kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional)
  • 2 fresh garlic cloves, smashed
  • A couple of fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs

Instructions

  1. Bring the ribeye steak to room temperature by letting it sit on a plate for about 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450-500°F). For charcoal grills, wait until coals are white-hot and spread evenly.
  3. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with coarse kosher salt on both sides, then add freshly ground black pepper just before grilling.
  4. Oil the grill grates using a paper towel dipped in olive oil and tongs to prevent sticking.
  5. Place the steak on the hottest part of the grill and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it to develop grill marks.
  6. Flip the steak using tongs and sear the other side for another 4 minutes.
  7. Lower the heat or move the steak to a cooler spot on the grill (indirect heat).
  8. Melt butter with smashed garlic and rosemary or thyme in a small pan or directly on the grill. Spoon the mixture over the steak repeatedly for 2-3 minutes to baste.
  9. Check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer aiming for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
  10. Remove the steak from the grill and rest it loosely tented with foil for 10 minutes to redistribute juices.
  11. Slice against the grain in thick slices and serve immediately, pouring any resting juices over the steak.

Notes

If steak is thicker than 1.5 inches, add a couple of minutes per side over indirect heat to avoid burning. Avoid piercing the steak to keep juices inside. Resting the steak is crucial for tenderness and juiciness. Use a thermometer to ensure perfect doneness. Clean grill grates before cooking to avoid bitter flavors.
