Ingredients
- 2 steaks (8 oz each) ribeye steaks, 1-inch thick
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
- Step 1: Remove 2 ribeye steaks (8 oz each) from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling to reach room temperature. Rub both sides with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season evenly with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
- Step 2: Preheat your gas grill to high heat (about 450°F) and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Step 3: Place the steaks directly over the heat and grill for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, flipping once, until an internal temperature of 130°F is reached.
- Step 4: While steaks cook, combine 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter with 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, and 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves in a small bowl.
- Step 5: Remove steaks from the grill and immediately top each with half of the garlic-herb butter. Tent loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving to allow flavors to meld and juices to redistribute.
