steak
Preparation Time: 30 minutes Cooking Time: 10 minutes Total Time: 40 minutes Recipe Intensity: Moderate
Ingredients:
- 2 Ribeye steaks (about 1 pound each)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Optional: lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
- Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling. This helps them cook more evenly.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a gas grill, aim for a temperature of around 400-450°F (200-230°C). If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are hot and glowing.
- While the grill is heating up, season both sides of the ribeye steaks generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, and lemon zest. Mix well to create the herb butter.
- Once the grill is ready, brush the steaks with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, or adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of doneness.
- During the last 2 minutes of cooking, top each steak with a spoonful of the herb butter mixture. Allow the butter to melt and infuse the steaks with flavor.
- Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier steak.
- Optional: Serve the grilled ribeye steaks with lemon wedges on the side for added freshness.
