Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper. Place 2 ribeye steaks in a resealable bag and pour marinade over. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  2. Step 2: Preheat grill or cast iron skillet to medium-high heat (around 450°F). Remove steaks from marinade and pat dry. Grill steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, combine 4 tbsp softened unsalted butter with 2 tbsp chopped parsley, 1 tsp lemon zest, and 1 minced garlic clove in a small bowl. Mix until well incorporated.
  4. Step 4: Remove steaks from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Top each steak with 2 tbsp garlic herb butter, allowing it to melt over the warm meat before serving.
