A quick and easy grilled ribeye steak recipe finished with a rich garlic herb butter that creates a tender, juicy, and flavorful dinner perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ribeye steak, 1 to 1 ½ inches thick (about 12–16 oz / 340–450 g)
  • Salt, preferably kosher or sea salt (to taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • Olive oil or avocado oil (for grilling, mild flavor)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • Pinch of salt (for butter)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (for butter)

Instructions

  1. Take your ribeye out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking to come to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides just before grilling.
  3. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, lemon zest, pinch of salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside at room temperature.
  4. Preheat the grill to around 450°F (232°C). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill the ribeye steak directly over the heat for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature 130-135°F / 54-57°C). Use an instant-read thermometer to check doneness.
  6. Remove the steak from the grill and immediately spread a generous spoonful of the garlic herb butter over the top.
  7. Tent the steak loosely with foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute and butter to melt.
  8. Slice the steak against the grain and spoon any leftover melted herb butter from the plate over the slices before serving.

Notes

Let the steak rest after grilling to lock in juices. Use an instant-read thermometer for perfect doneness. Add the garlic herb butter only after grilling to avoid burning the garlic. If no grill is available, sear in a cast-iron skillet and finish in the oven at 400°F for 5-7 minutes.
