Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your grill to high heat, about 450°F. Brush both sides of 2 ribeye steaks (8 oz each) with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season evenly with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, flipping once to get nice char marks and a crust. Remove steaks and let rest while preparing the butter.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter with 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh rosemary, and 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh thyme. Dollop the garlic herb butter on top of the resting steaks so it melts into the meat before serving.
