Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F). Rub 1.5 pounds ribeye steak with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1.5 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper evenly on both sides. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons unsalted butter with 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Mix well and refrigerate until firm.
  3. Step 3: Toss 1 sliced medium zucchini, 1 cut red bell pepper, 1 sliced medium yellow squash, and 1 cut small red onion with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Spread vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 425°F for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  4. Step 4: Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness. Remove steak and let rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Slice the rested steak against the grain and top each portion with a dollop of the herb butter. Serve alongside the roasted Mediterranean vegetables.
