Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ribeye steak (1-inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon roasted garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Pinch of crushed black pepper
  • Pinch of pink Himalayan salt

Instructions

  • Step 1 – Preheat your grill, setting up two zones: one for high direct heat and one for lower indirect heat. Let the grill heat for 10-15 minutes.
  • Step 2 – Rub the ribeye with olive oil and season generously with kosher salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Let the steak rest for 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Step 3 – Place the ribeye on the hot side of the grill to sear for 1-2 minutes on each side. Flip every 20-30 seconds to create an even crust.
  • Step 4 – Move the steak to the cooler side of the grill and close the lid. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium.
  • Step 5 – While the steak is grilling, prepare the compound butter by mixing butter, roasted garlic, thyme, lemon zest, black pepper, and pink Himalayan salt.
  • Step 6 – Once the ribeye is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • Step 7 – Top the steak with the compound butter before slicing and serving. Enjoy the rich, flavorful, and perfectly seared ribeye!
