Essential Ingredients for a Perfect Carnivore Grilled Ribeye

Here’s what you’ll need to master this carnivore grilled ribeye with garlic butter drizzle:

Ribeye Steak: Choose cuts about 1½ to 2 inches thick for the perfect crust and juiciness.
Salt: Coarse sea salt or kosher salt to enhance natural flavors.
Unsalted Butter: The base for the garlic butter drizzle, adding richness without overpowering.
Garlic: Used in fat to infuse flavor; a clove or two is enough to elevate your drizzle.

Getting Your Grill Ready

1. Season Generously: Pat your ribeye dry and season both sides liberally with salt. This step draws out flavor and helps build a golden crust.

2. Preheat Thoroughly: Heat your grill until it’s scorching hot. A hot grill ensures that perfect sear every carnivore craves.

3. Grill to Perfection: Place the ribeye on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust if you prefer rare or well-done. Remember – don’t press or poke; let the steak do its magic.

Crafting Your Garlic Butter Drizzle

While the steak rests, make your garlic butter drizzle:

Melt unsalted butter gently over low heat.
Add minced garlic and let it simmer until fragrant, being careful not to brown the butter.
Swirl gently and your flavorful garlic butter drizzle is ready to elevate your steak.

Tips to Elevate Your Carnivore Grilled Ribeye

Rest Your Steak: Let it rest 5-10 minutes to lock in all those juicy flavors.
Butter Baste While Grilling: For extra richness, baste with garlic butter during the final minutes of cooking.
Store Leftovers Properly: Refrigerate and consume within a couple of days. Reheat with butter to keep it tender.

Serving Suggestions, Carnivore Style

Keep your plate pure and simple:

Pair with crispy bacon or butter-fried beef liver for a fully carnivore-approved meal.
For a gourmet touch, add a dollop of whipped beef tallow alongside your ribeye.
