Ingredients
2largebeef ribeye steaks8-12 ounces each
1tablespoonsteak seasoning
Instructions
Generously season both sides of ribeye steaks with steak seasoning.
For best flavor: Let sit in the fridge at least 1 hour, up to overnight. To save time, you can skip this step and just let sit at room temp before grilling.
Let steak sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes for more even cooking.
Preheat gas grill to medium-high heat, or about 500° F. Place steaks on the grill, close lid and immediately reduce heat to medium. Cook 4-6 minutes until bottoms are seared.
Rotate, close lid, and cook about 5 minutes more or to an internal temp of 135° to 140° F for rare to medium rare.
Remove from grill and let sit 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving. It will continue to cook slightly, about 5° more while resting.
Notes
Use quality meat: For best flavor use grass-fed or organic ribeye steak.
Use a simple steak seasoning with salt: Even just salt and pepper work well, or use a dry steak seasoning which includes ingredients such as garlic, salt, pepper, coriander, oregano and/or chili.
Seasoning meat ahead of time allows flavors to soak in and the salt helps tenderize meat proteins and creates juicer meat.
Bringing meat to room temperature ensures more even cooking throughout and better internal temperature control.
Using high heat then reducing temp creates a quick sear on outsides, then finishes with even cooking.
Check temp while on the grill, watch carefully and do not overcook.
Resting before cutting allows moisture to be absorbed back into meat proteins and reduces liquid loss.
