A quick and easy grilled ribeye steak recipe topped with a flavorful herb butter sauce, perfect for any occasion and packed with rich, buttery flavor and fresh herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks, about 1-inch thick (1216 ounces each)
  • Kosher salt or sea salt, to season
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to season
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing steaks

Instructions

  1. Prepare the herb butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, parsley, thyme, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly and set aside or refrigerate.
  2. Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Brush each side lightly with olive oil. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
  3. Preheat grill to high heat (about 450°F). Clean and oil grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill steaks for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature 130-135°F). Use tongs to flip once or twice, avoiding piercing the meat. Adjust time for desired doneness.
  5. Check doneness with a meat thermometer. Remember steak continues to cook while resting.
  6. Remove steaks from grill and place on cutting board. Spoon herb butter over each steak while hot, letting it melt. Tent loosely with foil and rest for 5-10 minutes.
  7. Slice against the grain if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Let steaks rest at room temperature before grilling for even cooking. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness. Avoid pressing steaks while grilling to retain juices. Herb butter can be made a day ahead and refrigerated. For dairy-free, substitute butter with plant-based margarine or ghee. If no grill, use a hot cast-iron skillet.
