Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 2 12 oz Ribeyes (Boneless or Bone-In)
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
Garlic Butter
- 4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1 Clove Garlic, crushed
- 1 Tsp Dried Parsley
- 1/2 Tsp Rosemary
Others
- Aluminum Foil
Instructions
- Season the Steaks: Generously season the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Let them rest uncovered for about 2 hours at room temperature to enhance flavor and promote even cooking.
- Prepare Garlic Herb Butter: Place the unsalted butter in a bowl. Crush the garlic clove over the butter, then add dried parsley and rosemary. Allow the mixture to sit until the butter softens.
- Mix the Butter: Using a fork or spoon, whip the softened butter to combine the garlic and herbs evenly; set aside.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it is hot enough to sear the steaks properly.
- Grill the Steaks: Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 6 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness (medium-rare to medium is recommended for ribeyes).
- Prepare Foil Sheets: While steaks are grilling, prepare two sheets of aluminum foil large enough to wrap the steaks individually.
- Wrap with Garlic Butter: After grilling, transfer each steak onto a foil sheet. Divide and spoon half of the prepared garlic butter over each steak.
- Rest the Steaks: Tent or tightly seal the steaks in the foil and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. This resting period helps the steak juices redistribute and the butter to melt thoroughly.
- Finish and Serve: Carefully unwrap the foil. If any butter has not fully melted, use a fork to spread it evenly over the steak, enhancing flavor and juiciness.
- Slice and Enjoy: Slice the steaks as preferred and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes to complement the rich, buttery flavors.
Notes
- This recipe typically serves 2 with 12 oz portions, but can be divided into 4 servings with 6 oz each depending on appetite.
- Letting the steaks rest at room temperature before grilling promotes even cooking.
- Using aluminum foil to tent the steaks after grilling helps retain moisture and enhances flavor by melting the garlic herb butter into the meat.
- Adjust grill timing based on steak thickness and desired level of doneness.
- For best flavor, use high-quality ribeye steaks and fresh garlic.
