How to Make Juicy Grilled Ribeye Steak

Let’s dive into the process! You’ll have a mouthwatering steak in no time.

1. Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This step is crucial for even cooking!
2. Preheat the grill to high heat. A hot grill is key to achieving that beautiful sear.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. This seasoning blend is going to elevate your steak!
4. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the steaks. Don’t be shy—get in there and massage it into the meat!
5. Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them. This allows for those gorgeous grill marks.
6. Flip the steaks and continue grilling for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer if you’re unsure!
7. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This step ensures the juices redistribute for a juicy bite.

Substitutions & Additions

If you want to mix things up, consider these substitutions:

• Try different herbs like oregano or basil for a unique flavor profile.
• Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the seasoning for a tangy twist.
• Top your grilled steak with a pat of herb butter for an extra indulgent treat.

Tips for Success

Here are some tips to ensure your steak turns out perfectly:

• Don’t skip the resting time—this is key to keeping your steak juicy.
