Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks (1 inch thick, about 12 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
How to Make Grilled Steak with Herb Butter
- Prepare the herb butter by combining the softened butter, parsley, chives, thyme, and minced garlic in a bowl. Mix until well combined, then set aside.
- Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling. This ensures even cooking.
- Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F). While the grill is heating, rub the steaks with olive oil, then season generously with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Once the grill is hot, place the steaks on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to get a good sear.
- Flip the steaks and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare).
- Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Top each steak with a generous dollop of the herb butter just before serving, allowing it to melt into the warm steak.
Tips for the Best Results
- Let your steaks rest before grilling to ensure even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness for best results.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs for the butter based on your preference.
- Make sure the grill is properly heated before placing the steaks on it for a perfect sear.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the herbs for other favorites like rosemary or oregano.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the herb butter for a spicy kick.
- Try adding a splash of lemon juice to the herb butter for a bright flavor contrast.
What to Serve With It
- Grilled vegetables, such as asparagus or zucchini, for a light side.
- Creamy mashed potatoes or garlic mashed cauliflower for comfort.
- A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette to balance the richness of the steak.
- Crusty bread to soak up any leftover butter.
