How to Cook Ribeye Steak on the Grill
Grilled ribeye steak is easier than you think; with only 3 to 4 ingredients and a few simple steps, you're on your way to a tender, juicy, perfectly seasoned grilled steak!
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup olive oil (optional)
- 3 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons pepper
- 3 (10 to 12-ounce) ribeye Steaks (approximately 1 to 1½" thick)
Instructions
- Brush both sides of each ribeye with olive oil and generously sprinkle both sides with kosher salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate 12 to 24 hours.
- Allow steaks to come to room temperature 20 to 30 minutes before grilling. Preheat gas grill to high (450 to 500 degrees). (Tip: to test a charcoal grill temperature you should be able to hold your hand over the grate for only 2 to 4 seconds.)
- Place steaks on the grill and cook 4 to 5 minutes, then turn over. Cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until the steaks reach 125 degrees F (final medium-rare temp 130°F). (Tip: use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature and cook until the steaks are 5 degrees less than your desired doneness, using the below final temperature doneness as a guide.)
- Remove steaks from grill and cover with foil. Allow steaks to rest for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving. The temperature of the steaks will continue to rise about 5 degrees while they are resting.
