Grilled ribeye steaks are a delicious and popular choice for meat lovers. Here’s a simple recipe for making grilled ribeyes:
Ingredients:
- Ribeye steaks (1 to 1.5 inches thick)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Olive oil
- Optional: Garlic powder, onion powder, or your favorite steak seasoning
Instructions:
- Prepare the Steaks:
- Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30-60 minutes. This ensures more even cooking.
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Season the Steaks:
- Season the ribeyes generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or your favorite steak seasoning for extra flavor.
- Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to high heat. Aim for a temperature of around 450-500°F (230-260°C). If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are hot and have developed a white ash.
- Oil the Grates:
- Before placing the steaks on the grill, brush the grates with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Steaks:
- Place the seasoned ribeye steaks on the hot grill grates. For medium-rare, grill for about 4-5 minutes per side for a 1-inch thick steak. Adjust the time based on your preferred level of doneness and the thickness of the steaks.
- Check Doneness:
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steaks. For medium-rare, aim for 130-135°F (54-57°C). Keep in mind that the temperature will rise a few degrees while the steak rests.
- Let the Steaks Rest:
- Remove the ribeyes from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Slice and Serve:
- After resting, slice the ribeyes against the grain into your desired thickness. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Grilled ribeye steaks pair well with various side dishes such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Customize the seasoning and sides to suit your preferences
