Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 4 tbsp softened unsalted butter with 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme, and 1 tsp lemon juice. Mix until well combined and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 2 ribeye steaks (10 oz each) and rub each side with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1.5 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper evenly.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to high heat (450-500°F). Place steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, flipping once, until an internal temperature of 135°F is reached.
  4. Step 4: Remove steaks from grill and let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  5. Step 5: Top each steak with a generous dollop of the garlic herb butter while still warm so it melts over the meat.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately with your choice of sides for a classic Italian steakhouse meal.
