A perfectly grilled ribeye steak with rich marbling is a high protein, carnivore dream that delivers unmatched beefy flavor. This family-celebration classic is the ultimate steakhouse experience at home.
Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking and pat dry with paper towels to allow even cooking.
Rub both sides of the steak with olive oil, then generously season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let the seasoning rest on the steak as the grill preheats.
Preheat your grill to high heat (450–500°F). Once hot, clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the steak on the grill directly over high heat; sear for 4–5 minutes on the first side without moving it to create a deep crust.
Flip the steak and grill the other side for 3–5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer — for medium-rare, pull at 130–135°F.
Remove the steak and let it rest, loosely tented with foil, for 5–10 minutes to retain juices before slicing and serving.
