Instructions
- Step 1: Pat 2 ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides evenly with 1 tbsp kosher salt and 1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 4 tbsp unsalted butter with 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme; set aside.
- Step 3: Light a charcoal grill and wait until the coals are covered with white ash and the grill temperature reaches about 450°F.
- Step 4: Brush the steaks lightly with 1 tbsp olive oil and place them on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, flipping once, until a crust forms and steaks register 130°F internally.
- Step 5: Transfer steaks to a plate and top each with 2 tbsp of the garlic herb butter. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute and butter to melt.
