A simple and satisfying grilled ribeye steak recipe topped with a silky herb butter that enhances the steak’s natural flavor. Perfect for quick weeknight dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick (12–16 oz / 340–450 g each)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
  • 1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Herb Butter (10 minutes): In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons (60 g) of softened unsalted butter with minced garlic and chopped fresh herbs—1 tablespoon each of thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Mix thoroughly until smooth and fragrant. Cover and chill in the refrigerator while prepping the steak.
  2. Season the Steaks (5 minutes): Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Generously season with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Preheat the Grill (10 minutes): Heat your grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F / 230°C). For charcoal, wait until coals are glowing red with a thin layer of ash. For gas, preheat with the lid closed.
  4. Grill the Steaks (8-12 minutes): Place steaks on grill grates and cook about 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temp 130-135°F / 54-57°C). Flip once using tongs. For thicker steaks, add 1-2 minutes per side.
  5. Rest and Serve (5 minutes): Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Dollop a generous spoonful of chilled herb butter on each steak to melt. Slice against the grain and serve immediately.

Notes

Keep a spray bottle of water nearby to control grill flare-ups. Let the steak rest after grilling to retain juices. Use fresh herbs for best flavor in the butter. One flip only for best sear. Herb butter can be made ahead and chilled. For dairy-free, substitute butter with vegan margarine or coconut oil.
