A quick and easy grilled ribeye steak recipe topped with a flavorful herb butter made from fresh garlic, parsley, thyme, and lemon juice. Perfect for beginners and ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ribeye steak, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick (12–16 oz / 340–450 g)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt (preferably kosher or sea salt), to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Herb Butter (10 minutes): In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and set aside. Optionally, roll into a log using parchment paper and chill for easy slicing later.
  2. Preheat the Grill (10 minutes): Heat your grill to about 450°F (232°C). For charcoal grills, wait until coals are glowing red with a light layer of ash.
  3. Prepare the Ribeye (5 minutes): Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil all over the steak, then season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
  4. Grill the Steak (8-12 minutes): Place the ribeye on the hottest part of the grill. For medium-rare, cook about 4-6 minutes per side, flipping only once. Use tongs to flip. Aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) if using a meat thermometer.
  5. Rest the Steak (5-10 minutes): Remove steak from grill and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest to redistribute juices.
  6. Add Herb Butter and Serve (2 minutes): Slice a generous pat of herb butter and place on top of the hot steak. Slice against the grain and serve immediately.

Notes

Let the ribeye sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling for even cooking. Pat dry steak before seasoning for a better sear. Flip steak only once to maintain juices. Rest steak after grilling to keep it tender. Herb butter can be made ahead and stored refrigerated or frozen. For dairy-free, use plant-based butter alternatives. If no grill is available, use a cast-iron skillet and finish in a 400°F oven.
