Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Seasoning

  • 2 12 oz Ribeye Steaks (Boneless or Bone-In)
  • Salt & Pepper, to taste

Garlic Herb Butter

  • 4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Clove Garlic, crushed
  • 1 Tsp Dried Parsley
  • 1/2 Tsp Rosemary
  • Aluminum Foil (for resting)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Whip the Butter: Using a fork or spoon, whip the softened butter to combine the garlic and herbs evenly; set aside.
  4. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it is hot enough to sear the steaks properly.
  5. 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).
  6. Prepare Foil Wraps: While steaks are grilling, prepare two sheets of aluminum foil large enough to wrap the steaks individually.
  7. Butter and Rest: After grilling, transfer each steak onto a foil sheet. Divide and spoon half of the prepared garlic butter over each steak.
  8. Seal and Rest: Tent or tightly seal the steaks in the foil and allow them to rest for 5 minutes to redistribute steak juices and melt the butter thoroughly.
  9. Unwrap and Serve: Carefully unwrap the foil. If any butter has not fully melted, use a fork to spread it evenly over the steak.
  10. Slice and Enjoy: Slice the steaks as preferred and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.

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.
