This amazing cut of beef is definitely a favorite and in my opinion, one of the most flavorful out there. There is no need for special or fancy ingredients, just steaks, seasonings, a brush of oil, and a pat of butter for perfection.
A Perfect Steak Every Time!
This recipe ensures a perfectly juicy ribeye steak every time! Steaks can be cooked in the oven or on the grill. A simple cut of beef is packed with flavor without a lot of fancy ingredients, sauces, or marinades. This is a “foundation” recipe and truly, anyone can make great steaks. I’ve included my favorite tips below to make a restaurant-worthy steak (and it costs much less at home too)!
Ingredients
Ribeye Steaks – This ribeye steak recipe uses steaks without a bone. Choose ribeye steaks that have nice even marbling throughout for the best results. Thicker 1″ steaks are easier to cook than thinner steaks. You can get a nice char on the outside without overcooking (I prefer to cook to medium-rare).
Ribeyes have a fat cap along the outside and will most often have a larger piece of fat in the middle. This will all melt into the steak making it ultra juicy!
Seasoning – Use your favorite steak spice for this recipe (we love Montreal Seasoning or Hey Grill Hey Beef Seasoning). Rib eye steaks have so much flavor they really don’t need a lot of fancy ingredients or a marinade.
My dad always uses a simple combination of unsalted butter, black pepper, and seasoned salt and his steaks are ALWAYS amazing.
How to Grill Ribeye Steaks
Oven Method
Tips for Perfection
Making a great steak is not difficult but here are some things to ensure it’s perfect every time!
Prep
If using frozen steak, be sure to let it fully thaw. Bring steaks to room temperature before cooking. A bit of vegetable or canola oil before seasoning helps the seasonings stick. Season steaks just before cooking. Preheat the cast iron pan, oven and/or grill.
Cooking
Searing the outside of the meat helps ensure the juices are sealed inside. Do not press the steak as it is cooking on the grill. Use a meat thermometer and be sure not to overcook. Remove the steaks a few degrees before they reach the desired temperature as they will continue to rise a few degrees as they rest. Always rest steaks 5-10 minutes before serving for best results.
