A simple and flavorful grilled ribeye steak topped with a rich garlic herb butter, perfect for any occasion and ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks, about 1 to 1 ½ inches thick
  • Kosher salt, for seasoning
  • Freshly ground black pepper, coarse grind
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Zest of half a lemon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing steaks before grilling

Instructions

  1. Prep the Garlic Herb Butter (10 minutes): In a small bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, and lemon zest. Mix well until evenly incorporated. Set aside in the fridge to firm up slightly while you prep the steaks.
  2. Season the Ribeye (5 minutes): Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Generously season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Preheat the Grill (10 minutes): Heat your grill to high, aiming for around 450–500°F (232–260°C). If using charcoal, let the coals burn until covered with white ash. Brush the grill grates clean and oil lightly to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the Steaks (8-12 minutes): Place the ribeye on the hottest part of the grill. Let it sear without moving for about 4-5 minutes. Flip and grill the other side an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare (internal temp 130°F / 54°C). Adjust time for thicker cuts or desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check if unsure.
  5. Rest the Steaks (5 minutes): Remove the steaks from the grill and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let them rest so juices redistribute.
  6. Top with Garlic Herb Butter (1-2 minutes): While the steaks rest, slice the garlic herb butter into pats. Place them on top of each steak so they melt over the warm surface.
  7. Serve Immediately: Plate the steaks and spoon any melted butter over the top. Enjoy while hot!

Notes

Let steaks come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking. Rotate steaks 45 degrees halfway through each side for classic grill marks. Avoid pressing down on steaks while grilling to maintain juiciness. For indoor cooking, use a cast iron skillet or grill pan heated very hot.
