Ingredients
- 12 oz beef ribeye steak
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F). Pat the 12 oz beef ribeye steak dry and season both sides evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
- Step 2: Brush the steak lightly with 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking, then place it on the hot grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, flipping once, until a nice crust forms and internal temperature reaches 130°F.
- Step 3: While the steak grills, melt 3 tbsp unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Step 4: Remove the garlic butter from heat and stir in 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
- Step 5: Once the steak rests for 5 minutes after grilling, spoon the warm garlic butter evenly over the steak before serving.
