A quick and easy grilled ribeye steak topped with a rich and fresh garlic herb compound butter, perfect for weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ribeye steak, 12-16 oz (1 to 1.5 inches thick), well-marbled
  • 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • Kosher salt or sea salt, for seasoning
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing the steak

Instructions

  1. Make the Garlic Herb Compound Butter: In a small mixing bowl, combine softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, and lemon zest if using. Mix well until evenly distributed. Shape into a log using plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  2. Prepare the Ribeye Steak: Pat the ribeye dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. If possible, season about 15 minutes before grilling.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat grill to high (450-500°F). For charcoal grills, wait until coals are covered with white ash. For gas grills, preheat with lid closed. Clean and oil grill grates before cooking.
  4. Grill the Ribeye: Place steak on hot grill and cook 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature 130-135°F). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy. Avoid flipping more than once.
  5. Rest the Steak: Transfer steak to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes, tented loosely with foil to keep warm.
  6. Serve: Slice compound butter into medallions and place on top of warm ribeye. Serve immediately.

Notes

Let the steak come to room temperature about 30 minutes before grilling for even cooking. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness. Rest the steak after grilling to keep it juicy. Compound butter can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to a week. For dairy-free option, substitute butter with vegan spread or ghee.
