Equipment

  • 1 grill or grill pan
  • 1 meat thermometer
  • 1 tongs
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 knife
  • 1 aluminum foil optional for resting

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces ribeye steaks 8 ounces each
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • optional fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450°F to 500°F). If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stove.
  • Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels to achieve a good sear.
  • In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Rub each ribeye steak with olive oil, coating them well, and sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the steaks, pressing it into the meat.
  • Once the grill is ready, place the steaks on the grill grates and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to achieve grill marks.
  • Flip the steaks using tongs and grill for another 4-5 minutes on the other side for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, aiming for 130°F.
  • Remove the steaks from the grill and tent them with aluminum foil if desired. Let them rest for about 5 minutes to redistribute the juices.
  • Slice the steaks against the grain, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For different levels of doneness, adjust cooking time as follows: 3-4 minutes per side for rare, 5-6 minutes per side for medium, and 7-8 minutes per side for well-done.
Letting your steak rest is crucial; it ensures a juicier and more flavorful result.
This grilled steak pairs well with sides such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
