Instructions

First, remove rib-eye steak from the fridge and let rest on the counter for about 1 hour before grilling.

Once the steaks are at room temperature, preheat the grill to medium high, or about 500 degrees F. For most gas grills, it will take about 10 minutes to fully come up to temperature.
Lightly brush both sides of the steaks with a little olive oil.

Season steaks with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Notes

For best results, always make sure your grill grates are clean. Brush the grates with olive oil and be sure to start with a hot grill before adding your ribeye steaks.

Why would you put butter on steak?

Not only does butter add fat and richness, but it can also make for a more tender steak. Cowboy Butter is good on just about any cut of beef. It adds so much additional flavor and makes for really delicious steaks.

Is ribeye a good grilling steak?

Ribeye steaks are awesome for grilling because of the great marbling. These are thick steaks similar to filet mignon (but bigger) that are impressive for company and special occasions.

How long to cook ribeye steak on grill

Beef should always be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F according to FoodSafety.gov, which is the temperature for "medium" doneness. Here are some helpful tips:

135°F for rare - cook for about 3-5 minutes per side
140°F for medium rare - cook for about 4-6 minutes per side
145°F for medium- cook for about 5-7 minutes per side
150°F for medium well - cook for about 6-8 minutes per side

Remember you always want to allow your beef to rest for at least 3-5 minutes, longer for larger cuts. I recommend adding the butter than making a tinfoil tent for your steaks and allow them to rest for 10 minutes.

Recipe Variations

If you prefer not to use the Cowboy Butter (or don't have those ingredients on hand), try seasoning the ribeye with our slightly smoky Cowboy Steak Rub or slathering it with some Cherry BBQ Sauce.

You can also use this Easy Steak Marinade recipe to add a mouth-watering garlic flavor.

Garlicky Cowboy Butter Dipping Sauce is also an amazing condiment to serve with any good steak dinner.
