why make this recipe

A grilled rib eye steak is a great choice for any meal. It’s juicy, flavorful, and easy to make. Whether you are having a special dinner or just want to treat yourself, this recipe is sure to impress. The rib eye comes from the beef rib section and has a good amount of marbling, making it tender and delicious when cooked just right.

how to make Grilled Rib Eye Steak

Ingredients:

  • 1 rib eye steak
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (optional, such as rosemary or thyme)

Directions:

  1. Take the rib eye steak out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the grill to high heat.
  3. Season both sides of the steak generously with salt and black pepper. Optionally, rub with olive oil and minced garlic or sprinkle fresh herbs on both sides.
  4. Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time for your preferred doneness.
  5. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!

how to serve Grilled Rib Eye Steak

You can serve the grilled rib eye steak with simple sides like a fresh salad or some grilled vegetables. A baked potato or some crispy fries also pair nicely with it. For a special touch, drizzle some chimichurri sauce or garlic butter over the steak before serving.

how to store Grilled Rib Eye Steak

If you have leftover steak, allow it to cool completely. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. To reheat, place the steak in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave on a low setting.

tips to make Grilled Rib Eye Steak

  • Always let your steak come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
  • For a nice sear, make sure your grill is hot enough.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Aim for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
  • Let the steak rest after grilling to keep it juicy.

variation

You can add different spices or marinades to customize your rib eye steak. For example, you might try a spice rub with smoked paprika and cumin, or marinate it in soy sauce and honey for a different flavor.

FAQs

How thick should my rib eye steak be for grilling?

A steak about 1 to 1.5 inches thick is ideal for grilling, as it cooks evenly without drying out.

Can I use a grill pan instead of an outdoor grill?

Yes, a grill pan on the stovetop works well too. Just ensure it’s hot before placing the steak on the pan.

What if I don’t have a grill?

You can also cook rib eye steak in a skillet or under the broiler in your oven if you don’t have a grill. Just follow similar steps for seasoning and cooking time.
