Equipment
- 1 Grill preheated to high
- 1 Mixing Bowl
- 1 Tongs for flipping the steak
Ingredients
Steak
- 2 bone-in ribeye steaks about 1.5 inches thick
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garlic Butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tsp fresh thyme chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Season them generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Form the mixture into a log, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm.
Cooking
- Preheat your grill to high heat, around 500°F, ensuring the grates are clean and oiled.
- Place the steaks on the grill and sear each side for about 4-5 minutes until a crust forms. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until the desired doneness is reached.
- Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy steak.
Serving
- Slice the garlic butter into rounds and place them on top of the hot steaks. The butter will melt, creating a rich sauce.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired. Serve alongside your choice of sides.
Storage
- Place any leftover steak in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat.
