Perfectly Grilled Ribeye Steak Recipe

Step 1

Season Steaks. Salt the meat at least two hours ahead of grilling time.Dry off each steak with paper towel and sprinkle a little salt over the surface of the steak.Let them rest, uncovered, in the refrigerator until its time to take them out and bring them up to room temperature.

Step 2

Bring The Meat Up to Room Temperature. This can take an hour or two. But to be safe, I use an instant read thermometer to check the temperature.

Step 3

Put Steaks On Grill. Place steaks on the grill grates in the center of the hot grill. Grill steaks for 5 minutes on the first side.Flip Them. Flip the steaks over using grilling tongs and grill them for another 4 1/2 minutes for a perfect medium-rare ribeye steak. The final temperature for steak: Medium-Rare 130°F. USDA recommends Medium 145°F.

Step 4

Check The Temp. The exact grill time varies when cooking steaks. So use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature reaches your desired degree of doneness. Use a fast and accurate instant-read thermometer like a Thermapen® ONE, to check that the internal temperature of the meat has reached the desired temperature.Pro Tip: When using a meat thermometer, insert the probe into the sides of the steak all the way to the center of the meat, in order to get an accurate temperature reading.

Step 5

Remove From Grill And Let Rest. Remove the steaks from the grill and place them on a plate or cutting board to rest for 5-10 minutes.

Step 6

Finishing Touches. Place a pat of butter on top of each grilled ribeye steak, season with ground black pepper, and cover with aluminum foil to keep them warm.

Step 7

Serve and Enjoy. Serve your perfectly grilled ribeye steak with your favorite side dishes.
