Ingredients
- 4 pieces (12 oz each) rib eye steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
Directions
Step 1
Take the rib eye steaks out of the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
Step 2
Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450–500°F) and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Rub the steaks with olive oil, ensuring each steak is evenly coated. In a small bowl, mix the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Generously season the steaks on all sides with this spice mixture.
Step 4
Place the steaks directly over the high heat and grill for 4–5 minutes per side for a medium-rare doneness, or adjust the time to your preferred level of doneness.
Step 5
During the last minute of grilling on each side, top each steak with 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and enhance the flavor.
Step 6
Optionally, when flipping the steak the final time, add a sprig of rosemary and thyme atop each steak for an aromatic touch.
Step 7
Once the steaks have reached your desired doneness, remove them from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5–7 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meat tender.
Step 8
Serve warm with your favorite sides such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
