Ingredients
- 16 oz ribeye steak
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3, minced garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tsp, chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Step 1: Remove the 16 oz ribeye steak from the refrigerator and pat dry. Rub 1 tsp kosher salt and 1 tsp black pepper evenly over both sides. Let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, combine 4 tbsp unsalted butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme. Mix well and set aside.
- Step 3: Preheat grill to high heat, about 450°F. Brush the steak with 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Step 4: Place the steak on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, flipping once when a nice crust forms and grill marks develop.
- Step 5: Remove the steak from the grill and immediately top with the prepared garlic herb butter. Let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute and butter to melt over the steak before slicing and serving.
