Ingredients
- 4 ribeye steaks
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove steaks from refrigerator 30-45 minutes before cooking to allow them to reach room temperature, which ensures even cooking.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Mix thoroughly until herbs are evenly distributed throughout the butter.
- Transfer herbed butter mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap, shape into a log, and refrigerate to firm up while preparing the steaks.
- Pat steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a better sear.
- Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper, pressing the seasoning into the meat.
- Preheat grill to high heat (around 450-500°F), ensuring grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Place steaks on the hottest part of the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, using tongs to flip.
- Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium.
- Remove steaks from grill and let rest on a cutting board for 5-7 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Slice the chilled herbed butter and place a pat on top of each steak while still warm, allowing butter to melt slightly.
- Serve immediately, garnishing with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- • Always let steaks come to room temperature before grilling to ensure even cooking • Pat steaks completely dry before seasoning to achieve that perfect golden-brown sear • Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness - no more guessing! • Let steaks rest after grilling to allow juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender and flavorful • Create compound butter ahead of time and refrigerate to intensify herb flavors • Clean and oil your grill grates before cooking to prevent sticking and create beautiful grill marks • Don't be afraid to generously season your steaks - salt and pepper are a steak's best friends
