Instructions
- Preheat the grill to high heat, ensuring it reaches about 450°F (232°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Brush both sides of the ribeye steaks generously with the marinade, ensuring an even coating.
- If desired, melt the butter and mix in the lemon juice to use for basting during grilling.
- Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the cooking time to achieve your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium.
- During the last minute of grilling, baste the steaks with the lemon-butter mixture for added flavor.
- Remove the steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute for a more tender bite.
- Garnish with fresh rosemary and serve hot, perhaps alongside grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the steaks for a few hours or overnight in the olive oil mixture.
- Pair with a robust red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, to complement the rich flavors of the steak.
- Experiment with different herbs, such as thyme or oregano, for a unique twist on the flavor profile.
