Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450°F. While it heats, coarsely crush 2 tsp black peppercorns using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
  2. Step 2: Rub the 16 oz ribeye steak on both sides with 1 tbsp olive oil, then season evenly with 1 tsp kosher salt and the crushed peppercorns, pressing gently to adhere.
  3. Step 3: Place the steak on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, turning once, until grill marks form and internal temperature reaches 130°F.
  4. Step 4: While the steak grills, melt 3 tbsp unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
  5. Step 5: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Spoon the warm garlic butter evenly over the steak before slicing and serving.
