Grilled Ribeye
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- 20 minutes before grilling, remove ribeyes from refrigerator and let stand, covered, at room temperature.
- Meanwhile, turn all grill burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot, about 10 to 15 minutes. Create an area of indirect heat by turning off 1 or 2 burners. Clean cooking grate.
- Brush each steak with olive oil and sprinkle liberally with Kosher salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Add steaks to grill, cover, and sear until golden brown and charred on one side, about 4 to 6 minutes.
- Flip steaks and continue to cook until crust forms, about 4 to 6 minutes more.
- Transfer steaks to indirect heat and continue to cook until desired doneness, about 5 to 8 minutes more. For medium-rare, an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees, for medium, 140 to 145 degrees, or for medium-well 150 degrees.
- Transfer steaks to a platter and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let the steaks rest 5 minutes on the cutting board before serving.
Notes
- Rib Eye Steaks: Look for thick, tall steaks marbled with lines and flecks of fat to ensure a moist steak. Bone-in rib eye steaks tend to be juicier, but boneless steaks are delicious and easier to slice and serve.
- Olive oil: A light coat of olive oil helps prevent sticking to the grate. You might not need it if the grill is preheated properly.
- Salt: Table salt works too. Avoid adding salt until just before cooking to prevent moisture loss.
- Yield: This recipe makes four approximately 6-oz. portions, perfect for generous servings.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
