Grilled Ribeye Steak
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!
Ingredients
- 1 ribeye approximately 1½ inches thick
- salt
- black pepper
- olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the grill: Fire up your grill to high heat, aiming for around 500°F (230°C). This will give your steak a nice sear.
- Season the steak: Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the ribeye steak and use your hands or a brush to coat it evenly. Season both sides of the steak generously with salt and black pepper.
- Prepare the grill: give it a good scrub to clear away all the debris from your last delicious meal.
- Place the oiled and seasoned ribeye steak directly on the preheated grill. Close the grill and let the steak cook for 3-4 minutes without disturbing it. Flip the steak using tongs and grill for another 3-4 minutes for a perfectly medium-rare doneness. Adjust the cooking time according to your preferred level of doneness. Remember, grill times can vary depending on the steak's thickness and grill heat.
- Check the temperature: To ensure your steak reaches the desired internal temperature, use an instant-read meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for around 130-135°F (54-57°C).
- Rest and serve: Once the steak is grilled to your liking, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and results in a more flavorful and tender steak. Slice the ribeye against the grain and serve it hot.

- Keep an eye on the steak while grilling to prevent overcooking. The suggested cooking times are approximate and can vary based on the thickness of the steak and the heat of your grill. Use an instant-read meat thermometer to ensure the steak reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Don't forget to raise a glass of your favorite wine, such as a bold and elegant Brunello, to complement the flavors of the juicy ribeye steak. Cheers to a delightful dining experience!
