Preparation
- Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels; this helps create a good sear.
- Season both sides of the steak generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Grilling
- Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450-500°F or 230-260°C).
- Lightly brush the steak with olive oil.
- Place the seasoned steak on the hot grill grates.
- Sear for 2-3 minutes per side for a good crust, then reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, flipping every 2-3 minutes until desired doneness is reached.
- Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature: 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare, 135-140°F (57-60°C) for medium.
Resting and Serving
- Transfer the grilled steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pat of butter or a sprig of fresh rosemary and thyme during the last few minutes of cooking while resting.
