Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 2 12 oz Ribeye steaks (Boneless or Bone-In)
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
Garlic Herb Butter
- 4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1 Clove Garlic, crushed
- 1 Tsp Dried Parsley
- 1/2 Tsp Rosemary
Additional
- Aluminum Foil (for tenting)
Instructions
- Season the steaks: Generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper. Leave them uncovered at room temperature for about 2 hours to enhance flavor and ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the garlic herb butter: Place the unsalted butter in a bowl. Crush the garlic clove over the butter, then add dried parsley and rosemary. Let the mixture sit until the butter softens.
- Whip the butter: Use a fork or spoon to whip the softened butter until the garlic and herbs are evenly incorporated. Set aside.
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high, making sure it is hot enough to sear the steaks properly for optimal crust and flavor.
- Grill the steaks: Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 6 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred doneness. Medium-rare to medium is recommended for ribeye.
- Prepare aluminum foil sheets: While the steaks are grilling, cut two sheets of foil large enough to individually wrap each steak.
- Butter and tent the steaks: After grilling, transfer each steak onto its own foil sheet. Spoon half of the prepared garlic herb butter over each steak.
- Rest the steaks: Tent or tightly seal the foil around the steaks and let them rest for 5 minutes. This step allows the juices to redistribute and the butter to melt into the meat.
- Finish and serve: Carefully unwrap the foil and spread any remaining butter evenly over the steak with a fork if needed. Slice as desired and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
- This recipe serves 2 with 12 oz steaks, but can be divided into 4 servings of 6 oz each depending on appetite.
- Resting the steaks at room temperature before grilling helps achieve even cooking throughout the meat.
- Tenting the steaks in foil after grilling retains moisture and allows garlic herb butter to deeply flavor the steak.
- Adjust grilling time based on steak thickness and doneness preference.
- For best results, use high-quality ribeye and fresh garlic for maximum flavor.
