I always thought steak was something you only ordered at a restaurant — until I grilled my first ribeye at home. The smell, the sizzle, the confidence boost when I nailed it... now it’s our go-to for date nights in. Just a few ingredients and a hot grill — that’s all you need.

 

 Classic Grilled Ribeye Steak Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 ribeye steaks (1–1.5 inches thick)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp kosher salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)

  • Optional: fresh rosemary or thyme, butter for finishing

 Instructions

1. Prep the Steaks:

  1. Let steaks sit at room temperature for 30 minutes (this helps them cook evenly).

  2. Pat dry with paper towels.

  3. Rub both sides with olive oil.

  4. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using.

 

2. Preheat the Grill:

  • Heat grill to high heat (about 450–500°F).

  • Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.

 

3. Grill the Steaks:

  1. Place steaks on the grill and cook for about:

    • 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare

    • Add or subtract a minute for more/less doneness

  2. Flip once during grilling for best crust.

  3. Optional: Add a pat of butter and fresh herbs on top during the last minute for extra flavor.

 

4. Rest & Serve:

  • Remove steaks from grill and let them rest for 5–7 minutes.

  • Slice against the grain if serving sliced, or serve whole with your favorite sides.

 

Suggested Sides:

  • Roasted veggies

  • Garlic mashed potatoes

  • Grilled corn or asparagus

  • Simple garden salad
