Juicy ribeye steaks grilled to perfection and topped with a rich, melting garlic herb butter, perfect for quick and flavorful BBQ meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick (12–16 oz / 340–450 g each)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • Kosher salt, generous amount
  • Freshly ground black pepper, generous amount
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon each of chopped fresh parsley, thyme, and rosemary, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest if using. Mix well until fully incorporated. Transfer the butter mixture to a piece of parchment paper and roll into a log shape. Chill in the fridge while you prep the steaks (about 15 minutes).
  2. Season the Ribeye Steaks: Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Generously season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides. Let the steaks rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Get your grill hot—aim for about 450°F (232°C). If using charcoal, wait until the coals are covered with white ash. Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the Steaks: Place the ribeyes on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130-135°F / 54-57°C). Adjust time if your steaks are thicker or you prefer a different doneness. Try to flip only once.
  5. Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a plate for 5-7 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  6. Top with Garlic Herb Butter: Slice the chilled garlic herb butter into rounds and place one or two slices on each resting steak. The butter will melt slowly, creating a luscious sauce.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

For dairy-free option, swap butter with plant-based spread and use garlic-infused olive oil. Use tongs to flip steaks to avoid piercing and losing juices. Rest steaks after grilling for best juiciness. If no grill available, sear in cast-iron skillet and finish in oven at 400°F for a few minutes.
