Ingredients You’ll Need

2 ribeye steaks (1-inch to 1.5 inches thick): This cut is marbled with fat, giving it that melt-in-your-mouth texture. For best results, try to choose steaks that are uniform in thickness.
1 tablespoon olive oil: Added to prevent sticking and enhance flavor. Can substitute with melted butter for a richer taste.
1 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste): Essential for flavoring the steak and helping to form that beautiful crust. Sea salt can be used as an alternative, but adjust to preference.
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper: Freshly ground adds a more pronounced flavor compared to pre-ground pepper.
1 teaspoon garlic powder: Imparts a lovely aromatic element that enhances the overall taste. You can switch this with fresh minced garlic if you prefer.

How to Make Grilled Ribeye Steak | Juicy Father’s Day Steak Dinner

Prepare the Steaks: Begin by patting your ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. This crucial step helps achieve that coveted sear. Brush each steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and then season generously with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder on both sides. Don’t forget to season the sides! Let the steaks rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling to ensure even cooking.
Set Up the Grill: For a charcoal grill, clean the grates thoroughly using a grill brush and a paper towel dipped in oil. Light the charcoal in a chimney starter until the coals are ash-gray (around 15-20 minutes). Pour the hot coals onto one side of the grill, creating a two-zone setup for direct and indirect heat. Cover with the lid to preheat for 5-10 minutes, ensuring the vents are open. For gas grills, clean the grates and turn all burners to high, closing the lid for 10-15 minutes. Once hot, turn off the burner on one side for indirect cooking.
Grill the Steaks: When your grill is ready, place the room-temperature steaks on the direct heat side, searing each side for 2-3 minutes with the lid open. Don’t move them; just let that beautiful crust develop. After searing, move the steaks to the cooler side of the grill. Close the lid and continue cooking to your desired doneness, using an instant-read meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
Check Doneness: Remove the steaks from the grill when they are about 5°F below your target temperature, keeping in mind the carryover heat will finish cooking them.
Rest the Steaks: Transfer the steaks to a plate and loosely cover with aluminum foil. Let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing to ensure a juicy steak every time.
Serve: Enjoy your grilled ribeye steaks whole or sliced against the grain alongside your favorite sides.

Storing & Reheating

To store any leftover steaks, wrap them tightly in foil or place them in an airtight container. Storing at room temperature is not advisable for safety, so refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the steaks for up to 3 months. To reheat, gently place the steaks in an oven at 250°F for about 20-30 minutes until warmed through. Be aware that reheating may alter the texture slightly, so adding a splash of broth before reheating can help refresh them.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid the common mistake of moving the steaks around unnecessarily while grilling; let them sear for the best results.
Always ensure your steaks are at room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
For perfect doneness, refer to an internal temperature guide: Medium-rare (130-135°F), Medium (135-145°F), Medium-well (145-155°F), and Well-done (160°F and above).
To enhance flavor, consider marinating the steaks in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before grilling.
If you’re new to grilling, invest in a digital meat thermometer for precise cooking.

Grilling a ribeye steak doesn’t just fill your stomach; it warms the heart and creates lasting memories. Each bite of this juicy steak brings together everything you love about grilled food and shared occasions. Feel free to experiment with spices or sides; whether you decide to pair it with a fresh salad, hearty potato wedges, or grilled vegetables, you truly can’t go wrong.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use a different cut of steak?

Absolutely! While ribeye is known for its flavor and juiciness, you can use other cuts like sirloin, New York strip, or even flank steak, adjusting the cooking time since they vary in thickness and fat content.

What’s the best way to tell if my steak is done?

Using an instant-read meat thermometer is the most accurate way to check doneness. Aiming for the internal temperatures mentioned earlier will help you achieve your ideal steak. If you don’t have a thermometer, you can also use the touch test by comparing the firmness of the steak with your palm.

Can I grill indoors?

If you don’t have access to an outdoor grill, you can use a grill pan on your stovetop, following the same steps. Just make sure to ventilate your kitchen well to manage smoke.

How do I make this steak meal for a crowd?

To serve a larger group, consider grilling multiple steaks at once and keeping them warm on a cutting board covered with foil while you finish cooking others. You can also pre-cook and store them, slicing just before serving to minimize waiting time.
