Ingredients

• 2 steaks (12-16 oz each) Rib eye steak
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 2 sprigs Fresh thyme

Directions

Step 1

Remove the rib eye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Preheat your grill to high heat (500°F/260°C). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot and ashed over.

Step 3

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture, allowing for better browning.

Step 4

Brush both sides of the steaks with olive oil. Season generously with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder on each side.

Step 5

Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Place the rib eye steaks directly over the heat.

Step 6

Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130°F/54°C), or adjust cooking time according to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature.

Step 7

During the final minute of grilling, place 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on each steak, along with one sprig of rosemary and thyme. Allow the butter and herbs to melt into the steak for added flavor.

Step 8

Remove the steaks from the grill and transfer them to a cutting board. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Slice against the grain or serve whole with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
