Why You’ll Love This Recipe:

• Juicy and Flavorful: Ribeye’s natural marbling makes it tender and packed with flavor.
• Simple Seasoning: Just a few ingredients to let the steak’s quality shine.
• Quick and Easy: Perfect for a straightforward, impressive meal.
• Customizable: Adjust seasoning and cooking time to your taste.

Ingredients:

• 2 ribeye steaks (1.5-2 inches thick, about 12-16 oz each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Optional: 1-2 teaspoons garlic powder, onion powder, or your favorite steak seasoning
• Optional: fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme, for garnish)
• Optional: 2-3 cloves garlic, smashed (for added flavor during grilling)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Steaks:

• Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 30-60 minutes before grilling. This helps ensure even cooking.
• Brush both sides of the steaks with olive oil. Season generously with salt and black pepper, and any additional seasonings if using.

1. Preheat the Grill:

• Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450-500°F or 230-260°C). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot and have a medium-high heat.

1. Grill the Steaks:

• Place the steaks on the hot grill. For grill marks and an even sear, do not move the steaks once placed.
• Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (130-135°F or 54-57°C internal temperature), 5-7 minutes per side for medium (135-145°F or 57-63°C), and 7-9 minutes per side for medium-well (145-155°F or 63-68°C). Adjust times based on your steak thickness and desired doneness.
• If using garlic and fresh herbs, you can add them to the grill for the last few minutes of cooking to infuse additional flavor.

1. Rest the Steaks:

• Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier steak.

1. Serve:

• Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.

Tips for Success:

• Temperature: Use an instant-read meat thermometer to ensure your steak reaches the desired doneness.
• Grill Marks: For crosshatch grill marks, rotate the steak 90 degrees halfway through grilling each side.
• Resting Time: Resting the steak is crucial for retaining its juices and achieving the best texture.

Recipe Variations:

• Marinated Ribeye: Marinate the steak in your favorite marinade for a few hours before grilling for added flavor.
• Herb Butter: Top the finished steak with a pat of herb butter for extra richness.
• Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning for a spicy twist.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve with classic sides like baked potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
• Pair with a full-bodied red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or a robust beer.

Freezing and Storage:

• Storage: Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheating: Reheat steak gently to avoid overcooking. Use a low oven temperature (around 250°F or 120°C) or a sous-vide method to reheat without drying out.

Special Equipment:

• Grill: Gas or charcoal grill for achieving a perfect sear.
• Meat Thermometer: For checking doneness accurately.
• Tongs: For turning the steak without piercing it.

FAQ:

• Can I use this method for other cuts of steak?
  Yes, you can use similar grilling techniques for other cuts like New York strip or sirloin, adjusting cook times as needed.
• What if I don’t have a grill?
  You can use a grill pan on the stovetop or broil the steaks in your oven for similar results.
• How do I know when the steak is done without a thermometer?
  Press the steak with your finger to gauge its firmness. For medium-rare, it should feel soft but slightly firm. For medium, it will feel firmer, and for well-done, it will be very firm.

Preparation Time:

• 10 minutes for seasoning and prepping the steak.

Cook Time:

• 8-18 minutes depending on steak thickness and desired doneness.

Total Time:

• 20-30 minutes (including prep, grilling, and resting time).
