Instructions
- Step 1: Remove the 16 oz ribeye steak from the refrigerator and pat dry. Season both sides evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
- Step 2: Preheat your grill to high heat, about 450°F. Brush the steak lightly with 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Step 3: Place the ribeye on the grill and cook for 4 minutes on the first side without moving it to develop a good sear.
- Step 4: Flip the steak and grill for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare doneness (internal temperature about 130°F).
- Step 5: While the steak grills, in a small bowl, combine 4 tbsp unsalted butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves.
- Step 6: Remove the steak from the grill and immediately spread the garlic herb butter over the hot steak. Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the butter to melt and the juices to redistribute.
- Step 7: Slice against the grain and serve garnished with any remaining herb butter.
