Expert Tips for Grilling Ribeye Steak

Step 1: Prep Your Steak

Remove from fridge 30 minutes prior for even cooking.
Generously salt both sides and let it rest to develop flavor and a perfect crust.

Step 2: Nail the Grill

Preheat your grill to high heat for a fantastic sear.
Cook steak for 4-5 minutes per side.
Use a meat thermometer aiming for 130°F for medium-rare perfection.

Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter

Gently melt butter in a saucepan.
Stir in garlic powder to create a rich, aromatic sauce.

Step 4: Rest and Serve

Let the steak rest 5 minutes after grilling so juices redistribute.
Drizzle with warm garlic butter, adding an extra pat on top if you like.
