A straightforward grilled ribeye steak recipe topped with a flavorful herb butter that creates a juicy, rich flavor perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 thick-cut ribeye steak (12–16 oz / 340–450 g), well-marbled
  • Kosher salt or sea salt, to season generously
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons (about 60 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing the steak

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon each of finely chopped fresh rosemary and thyme, and 1 minced garlic clove. Mix well until evenly distributed. Set aside or refrigerate.
  2. Pat the ribeye dry with paper towels. Brush lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil on both sides. Generously season with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Let the steak sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
  3. Preheat grill to high heat (450-500°F / 230-260°C). Clean and lightly oil the grates.
  4. Place ribeye on the hot grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving it to develop a crust.
  5. Flip carefully using tongs and grill for another 3-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for preferred doneness.
  6. Check doneness with a meat thermometer aiming for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. Alternatively, use the finger test or cut a small slit to check color.
  7. Remove steak from grill and place on a plate or cutting board. Immediately spread a generous dollop of herb butter on top. Tent loosely with foil and rest for 5-10 minutes to lock in juices.
  8. Slice against the grain if serving sliced. Pour any melted herb butter from the plate over the steak before serving.

Notes

Let the steak rest after grilling to lock in juices. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness. For a smoky flavor, add soaked wood chips to charcoal or use a smoker box on a gas grill. If no grill is available, sear in a cast-iron skillet and finish in a 400°F oven for 4-6 minutes.
