How to Grill the Perfect Ribye

The Gourmet Bon Vivant

Grilled ribeye is pure carnivorous bliss, with its juicy, tender meat and the irresistible smoky char from the grill. It's the ultimate indulgence that satisfies all your meaty cravings!

Ribeye steak comes from the rib section of a cow, specifically from the rib primal cut. This area sits between the chuck (shoulder) and the loin, and it's home to some seriously delectable meat. The ribeye is cut from the rib roast or prime rib, which consists of several ribs with the bone intact.

When it comes to taste, ribeye steak is a true superstar. The magic lies in its generous marbling—the streaks of fat that run through the meat. This marbling not only adds a luxurious, buttery texture to the steak but also infuses it with flavor. As the steak cooks, the fat melts and bastes the meat, creating an incredibly rich and moist result.

Ingredients

The most important ingredient is the steak. We're going to let the flavor and tenderness shine through on it's own!

Pat Dry

The key to that crust is making sure the outside of the steak is as dry as possible to start with - so pat it with paper towel. 

Season

Don't be shy with the salt and pepper here. It's so important to bring out the overall flavor of the steak itself. 

Grill

3-4 minutes per side, medium high heat for a medium rare steak. Make sure you use a meat thermometer!
