Preparation
- Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear, then season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides.
- Let the seasoned steaks rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour, before grilling.
Grilling
- Preheat your grill to high heat (450-500°F) and lightly oil the grates.
- Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness.
- If using, add butter, rosemary, thyme, and garlic to a small pan on the side of the grill; baste the steaks with the herbed butter during the last couple of minutes of cooking.
Resting
- Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board or wire rack for 5-10 minutes.
Notes
For perfect grill marks, rotate the steaks 45 degrees halfway through cooking on each side. Always use a meat thermometer to check for desired doneness; 130-135°F for medium-rare, 135-140°F for medium. A good quality ribeye is key for the best results.
