Ingredients

Steak

  • 2 12 oz Ribeye steaks, boneless or bone-in
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Aluminum foil, for resting

Garlic Herb Butter

  • 4 Tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 1 clove Garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp Dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp Rosemary

Instructions

  1. Season and Rest: Generously season both sides of the ribeyes with salt and black pepper. Let the steaks rest at room temperature for about 2 hours to enhance flavor and tenderize the meat.
  2. Prepare Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, add the unsalted butter. Crush the garlic clove over the butter. Sprinkle in the dried parsley and rosemary. Allow the mixture to sit so the butter can soften at room temperature.
  3. Whip the Butter: Once softened, whip the butter mixture with a fork or spoon until all ingredients are well combined and the butter is creamy.
  4. Grill the Steaks: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the steaks for about 6 minutes on each side or until they reach your preferred degree of doneness.
  5. Rest with Garlic Butter: Prepare two sheets of aluminum foil. Place each grilled steak on a separate foil sheet. Divide the garlic herb butter equally, placing it on top of each steak. Tent or seal the foil to cover the steak and let it rest for 5 minutes, allowing the butter to melt and the juices to redistribute.
  6. Serve: Carefully unwrap the foil, and if necessary, use a fork to spread the melted garlic butter over the steak. Slice and serve with your choice of sides, enjoying the rich and infused flavors.

Notes

  • Resting the steaks at room temperature before grilling improves the texture and cooking evenness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
  • Letting the steak rest after grilling with butter helps retain juices and flavor.
  • If fresh herbs are available, fresh parsley and rosemary can be used instead of dried for a brighter flavor.
  • Ensure the butter is softened before whipping to combine ingredients well.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be paired with gluten-free sides for a complete meal.
