A simple and foolproof grilled steak recipe that delivers juicy, tender results with smoky flavor, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks (about 1-inch thick, around 12 oz or 340 g each), USDA Choice recommended
  • Coarse kosher salt (like Diamond Crystal)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • Extra virgin olive oil (for brushing steaks and grill grates; avocado oil can be used for higher smoke point)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • A few sprigs of rosemary or thyme (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (for finishing; can substitute with plant-based butter for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Pat steaks dry with paper towels to help achieve a crust.
  2. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Season generously with coarse kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  4. Let steaks sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before grilling.
  5. Preheat grill to about 450°F (232°C). For charcoal, let coals burn down to glowing red with a thin layer of ash; for gas, preheat on high and clean grates.
  6. Brush grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
  7. Place steaks directly over heat source.
  8. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (130°F/54°C internal temperature). For medium, grill 1-2 minutes longer per side (140°F/60°C). Flip only once using tongs.
  9. During the last minute of grilling, place a pat of butter and a sprig of rosemary or thyme on each steak and close the lid to melt butter and infuse aroma (optional).
  10. Transfer steaks to a plate and tent loosely with foil.
  11. Rest steaks for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute before slicing.

Notes

Pat steaks dry before seasoning for better sear. Let steaks come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking. Flip only once to develop crust. Rest steaks 5-10 minutes after grilling to retain juices. Use instant-read thermometer for accuracy or use touch test if thermometer is unavailable. For thicker steaks, use two-zone grilling method: sear on high heat then finish on indirect heat.
