Classic Grilled Ribeye Steak

Instructions

1. 1

   Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling.

2. 2

   Preheat your grill to high heat.

3. 3

   Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure proper searing. Season both sides of the steak generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

4. 4

   Brush both sides of the steak with olive oil. This helps in creating a nice sear and prevents sticking to the grill.

5. 5

   Mince the garlic cloves.

6. 6

   Once the grill is hot, place the steak on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, 155°F for medium-well.

7. 7

   While the steak is grilling, melt the butter in a small saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs. Allow the herbs to infuse the butter for a few minutes.

8. 8

   In the last minute of grilling, brush the herbed garlic butter over the steak to add flavor and richness.

9. 9

   Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a juicy steak.

10. 10

    Slice against the grain and serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
