Instructions

  1. Step 1: Take 2 ribeye steaks (12 oz each) out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature. Rub evenly with 2 tsp kosher salt, 1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 2 tbsp olive oil.
  2. Step 2: Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat (about 450°F). Place steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, turning once to develop grill marks.
  3. Step 3: While steaks cook, melt 4 tbsp unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Cook gently for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Remove steaks from grill and let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to redistribute juices.
  5. Step 5: Brush the garlic herb butter generously over the steaks and drizzle 1 tsp fresh lemon juice on top before serving.
