Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Remove 2 ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and pat dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season evenly with 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Prepare a charcoal grill for direct high heat, aiming for a grill temperature of approximately 500°F. Place steaks directly over the coals and grill for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, flipping once, until a deep crust forms and internal temperature reaches 130°F.
  3. Step 3: While steaks grill, combine 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley in a small bowl. Mix well.
  4. Step 4: Remove steaks from grill and transfer to a cutting board. Immediately dollop the garlic-parsley butter evenly over the hot steaks so it melts. Let steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
