Ingredients
- 2 steaks (8 oz each) ribeye steak, 1 inch thick
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Step 1: Take 2 ribeye steaks (8 oz each) out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling to come to room temperature. Rub each steak with 1 tbsp olive oil, then season both sides evenly with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
- Step 2: Preheat your gas grill to high heat, about 450°F, with the lid closed for 15 minutes. Clean and oil the grill grates.
- Step 3: Place the steaks directly over the heat and grill for 4 minutes with the lid closed. Flip the steaks and grill for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare doneness (135°F internal temperature). Remove steaks from grill and place on a plate.
- Step 4: While steaks rest, melt 4 tbsp unsalted butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then spoon the garlic-thyme butter over the steaks. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
