Juicy, tender ribeye steaks grilled to perfection and topped with a flavorful garlic herb butter that melts into the meat, creating a delicious and easy-to-make meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks, about 1 inch thick (roughly 12 oz / 340 g each)
  • Salt, preferably kosher or sea salt (for seasoning)
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Olive oil or avocado oil (for brushing the steaks before grilling)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced finely
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • Pinch of salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the garlic herb butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, lemon zest (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated. Set aside or refrigerate briefly if you want it firmer before serving.
  2. Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F / 230°C).
  3. Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive or avocado oil, then season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Place steaks on the grill. For medium-rare, grill about 4-5 minutes per side depending on thickness. Use tongs to flip once.
  5. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness, aiming for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium. Remove steaks a few degrees before target temperature as they will continue to cook while resting.
  6. Transfer steaks to a plate or cutting board and let rest loosely covered with foil for 5-7 minutes.
  7. Top each steak with a generous dollop of garlic herb butter while resting so it melts into the meat.
  8. Serve whole or sliced against the grain with your choice of sides.

Notes

Let steaks come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to avoid guesswork. Rest steaks after grilling to keep them juicy. Add garlic herb butter while steaks rest for best flavor. Avoid pressing or flipping steaks multiple times. For thicker cuts, finish in a 400°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
