A simple yet elegant grilled ribeye steak topped with a flavorful herb butter, perfect for an easy and delicious steak night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 thick-cut ribeye steak, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick (12–16 oz / 340–450 g)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary, finely chopped
  • Zest from half a lemon
  • Coarse sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing the steak

Instructions

  1. Prepare the herb butter: In a small bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme or rosemary, and lemon zest. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Preheat the grill to about 450°F (230°C). For charcoal grills, wait until coals are covered with white ash; for gas grills, preheat on high with lid closed.
  3. Pat the ribeye steak dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Season generously with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let the steak sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
  4. Grill the steak on the hottest part of the grill for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, flipping once using tongs. Aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C) if using a meat thermometer.
  5. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest loosely tented with foil for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  6. Top the resting steak with a generous spoonful or pat of the prepared herb butter so it melts over the meat.
  7. Slice against the grain if desired, serve with your favorite sides, and enjoy.

Notes

Keep grill grates clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness. Let steak rest after grilling to keep it juicy. Fresh herbs are preferred for best flavor; dried herbs can be used in smaller amounts. Butter can be substituted with plant-based spread for dairy-free option.
