Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks
- 4 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the ribeye steaks. Take them out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. This helps the steaks cook more evenly.
- While the steaks are resting, prepare the lemon garlic butter. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the 4 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the 3 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the juice of 1 lemon. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Preheat your grill to high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot and ashed over. For a gas grill, preheat for about 10-15 minutes.
- While the grill is heating, season both sides of the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper. This will enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Once the grill is hot, place the ribeye steaks on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to achieve a good sear.
- After 4-5 minutes, flip the steaks and brush them generously with the lemon garlic butter mixture. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness, or until your desired doneness is reached.
- During the last minute of cooking, you can add a little more butter on top of the steaks for extra flavor.
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the ribeye steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- To serve, slice the ribeye steaks against the grain and drizzle any remaining lemon garlic butter over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
- Enjoy your delicious Lemon Garlic Butter Grilled Ribeye with your favorite side dishes!
Tips
- Bring the Steaks to Room Temperature: Before grilling, let your ribeye steaks sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. This ensures they cook evenly and remain juicy.
- Perfect Your Lemon Garlic Butter: Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, but be careful not to burn it! A little patience here goes a long way in enhancing the flavor of your butter sauce.
- Season Generously: Don’t skimp on the salt and pepper! Generously seasoning both sides of the steaks will enhance their natural flavors and create a delicious crust when grilled.
- Achieve the Perfect Sear: Avoid moving the steaks around on the grill. Let them sear for 4-5 minutes on one side to lock in the juices and create that beautiful grill marks.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: For perfect doneness, use a meat thermometer. Aim for 130°F for medium-rare. Remember, the steaks will continue to cook a bit while resting.
- Let Them Rest: After grilling, allow the steaks to rest for about 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and tender bite.
- Garnish for Presentation: A sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley not only adds color but also a fresh flavor that complements the richness of the butter sauce.
- Pair Wisely: Serve your grilled ribeye with your favorite side dishes, like grilled vegetables or a crisp salad, to create a well-rounded meal that’s sure to impress!
