🥘 Grilled Ribeye Ingredients

This recipe only calls for 2 ingredients! The pat of butter isn't necessary, but it will make your steak extra tasty.

  • Ribeye - 2 lbs ribeye (2 1-inch thick ribeye steaks).
  • Steak Seasoning - ½ tablespoon of steak seasoning (see recipe or you can use your preferred brand).
  • Butter (optional) - 1 tablespoon of butter.

*Be sure to see the free printable recipe card below for ingredients, exact amounts & instructions with tips!*

🔪 How To Grill Ribeye Steak

Grilled ribeye steaks are surprisingly easy-to-make and will be ready to serve in only 20 minutes! You will need a BBQ grill, an instant-read temperature probe, and your grilling utensils!

This recipe makes 2 servings, however, it may depend on the size of ribeye steaks you choose. Feel free to prepare more steaks to feed a larger group!

  1. Prep. If time allows, you should place your ribeye on the counter 1 hour before cooking so they can come to room temperature (this helps it cook evenly).
  2. Preheat grill. Preheat your grill to high heat (450°F+ / 232°C+).
  3. Season. Once the grill is hot, season your 2 pounds of steak generously on all sides with ½ tablespoon of steak seasoning (*see note).
  4. Grill. Once hot, transfer the seasoned ribeye to the grill. Let them cook for 2 minutes and then rotate them 90° in order to make beautiful cross-hatched sear marks (*see note). Allow the meat to cook for another 2 minutes before flipping them over and repeating the process on the second side, usually taking about 4-6 minutes for a medium-rare ribeye (*see note).
  5. Transfer and add butter. After your steak reaches your desired level of doneness, transfer it to a tray. Add the optional pat of 1 tablespoon butter, if using, and loosely cover the ribeye with a square of aluminum foil.
  6. Rest and serve. Allow your steak to rest for a minimum of 5 minutes before serving.

Ribeye steaks are delicious as-is but they will pair well with any of your favorite sides. I enjoy serving them with some white cheddar mac and cheese or sauteed green beans! For more ideas, check out my post on what to serve with ribeye steak. Enjoy!

💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

  • Trim excess fat from your ribeye, if needed. The fat will drip down into the fire, feeding the flames, which can burn your steak.
  • Firmly press the steak seasoning into your ribeye. This gives the steak a delicious crust on the grill!
  • The USDA recommends steak be at least 145°F (63°C) internally to be considered 'safe' to consume. However, some people (myself included) prefer their steak less done. Use a meat thermometer to find out the internal temperature of your steak. (See my beef doneness post.)
    • Rare: 125°F-120°F (52°C-54°C)
    • Medium-rare: 130°F-135°F (54°C-57°C)
    • Medium: 135°F-145°F (57°C-63°C)
    • Medium well: 145°F-155°F (63°C-68°C)
    • Well-done: 155+°F (68+°C)
  • Keep in mind that your steak will cook an additional 5°F after being removed from the grill, this is called 'carryover cooking'. For this reason, you should aim for your steak to be 5°F shy of your ideal internal temperature.
  • When seasoning ribeye steaks, always wait to add the seasoning until just before cooking (within a maximum of 3 minutes). The salt in the seasoning will pull the moisture out of your steak. If 3 minutes have passed, you should wait a minimum of 40 minutes to cook your steak (this allows the meat to reabsorb the moisture).

🥡 Storing & Reheating

Place your leftover steak in a sealed container or wrap it tightly in heavy-duty foil. Refrigerate for a maximum of 4 days.

To freeze your steak, wrap your ribeye tightly in plastic wrap then place it in a heavy-duty storage bag. Freeze for a maximum of 4 months. 

Reheating Grilled Ribeye

Thaw frozen steak in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat your ribeye in the oven at 250°F (120°C) until heated to your satisfaction (usually about 20-25 minutes). 

❓ FAQ

How Is Ribeye Best Cooked?

Ribeye steaks are best prepared when grilled. However, you can pan-sear, broil, or air-fry as well!

Is Ribeye A Good Cut Of Meat?

Absolutely! The ribeye cut is great if you want a juicy, tender, and flavorful steak. It has a generous amount of marbling and fat that is perfect for retaining the steak's juiciness even when cooked at high heat.

Can A Ribeye Be Cooked Without Marinating?

Yes of course. You can marinate ribeye if you want to for up to 2 days, but it is fine with some simple seasonings like salt, pepper, or our homemade steak seasoning!
