Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat grill to high heat, about 450°F. Brush a 16 oz ribeye steak with 1 tbsp olive oil and season both sides evenly with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Place the steak on the grill and cook for 4 minutes without moving to develop a sear, then flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
  3. Step 3: While the steak grills, mix 3 tbsp softened unsalted butter with 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley until combined.
  4. Step 4: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Spread the garlic herb butter over the warm steak, allowing it to melt and infuse flavor before slicing and serving.
