Instructions

1. Step 1: Rub 1 tbsp kosher salt and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper evenly over both sides of the 2 ribeye steaks. Let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 4 tbsp softened unsalted butter with 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme until well combined to make garlic herb butter.
3. Step 3: Prepare a charcoal grill by lighting charcoal and letting it burn until covered with white ash, creating high heat (about 500°F).
4. Step 4: Lightly brush the steaks with 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking. Place steaks directly over the hot coals and grill for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, flipping once.
5. Step 5: Remove steaks from the grill and immediately top each with 2 tbsp garlic herb butter. Let rest for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld before slicing and serving.
