This Grilled Ribeye Steak recipe is a foolproof method to achieve a steakhouse-quality steak right at home! A simple seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, combined with a perfect grilling technique, guarantees a juicy and tender steak every time.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 ribeye steaks (1-inch to 1.5 inches thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prep the Steaks: Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to ensure a perfect sear. Brush both sides of each steak with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Don’t forget to season the sides of the steak. Allow the steaks to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling.
  2. Charcoal Grill Method:
    • Clean the grill grates using a brush and oil-dipped paper towel.
    • Light the charcoal with a chimney starter and let the coals burn until they turn ash-gray (about 15-20 minutes).
    • Pour the hot coals onto one side of the grill to create a two-zone setup (direct heat and indirect heat). Preheat the grill with the lid closed for 5-10 minutes, ensuring the vents are open.
    • Sear the steaks on the hot direct heat side for 2-3 minutes per side with the lid open, allowing a crust to form.
    • Move the steaks to the cooler indirect heat side, close the lid, and cook them to your desired doneness (see temperature guide below).
  3. Gas Grill Method:
    • Clean the grates and preheat the grill by turning all burners to high. Close the lid and preheat for 10-15 minutes.
    • Turn off one side of the grill to create a two-zone setup (direct heat and indirect heat).
    • Sear the steaks on the direct heat side for 2-3 minutes per side with the lid open.
    • Move the steaks to the cooler indirect heat side, close the lid, and continue grilling to your desired doneness (see temperature guide below).
  4. Doneness & Internal Temperature Guide: Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. Remove the steaks from the grill when they are 5°F below your target temperature, as carryover heat will finish the cooking process.
    • Rare: 120°F
    • Medium-rare: 130°F
    • Medium: 140°F
    • Medium-well: 150°F
    • Well-done: 160°F
  5. Rest and Serve: Let the steak rest for 10 minutes on a plate, loosely covered with aluminum foil. This step locks in the juices and ensures a tender steak. Serve the steaks whole or sliced against the grain with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can marinate the steaks for an hour before grilling.
  • If you prefer a smoky flavor, try using wood chips on the grill.
  • Resting the steak is a crucial step to ensure the juices stay locked inside.
