Ingredients
Steaks
- 2 to 4 boneless ribeye steaks approximately 1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inches thick
- 1-2 Tablespoons kosher salt
- 1-2 Tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
Compound butter
- 4 Tablespoons salted butter softened
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2-3 teaspoons fresh Rosemary finely chopped
Instructions
- Pull the steaks out of the fridge and let rest on the counter at room temperature for 30-45 minutes prior to cooking. Preheat grill on medium-high heat to about 500°F or start charcoal 15-20 minutes before you plan to cook the steaks.
- Season the steaks liberally on all sides with plenty of kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. The amount largely depends on the size of your steaks, but plan on roughly 1-2 teaspoons of salt and almost as much pepper for each steak if they are about 1-inch thick.
- Prepare the compound butter by combining the softened butter with the garlic and rosemary and mashing it together with a fork, then set it in the fridge to reharden.
- Set the steaks on the preheated grill grates and cook for approximately 4 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 130°F when tested with an instant read digital meat thermometer. The temperature will continue to rise about 5 degrees after the steak is removed from the grill.
- Remove the steaks from the grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Top each steak with 1-2 tablespoons of the compound butter and let it melt on top while the steaks rest. The temperature of the meat will be around 135°F for a perfect medium-rare. See notes for other degrees of doneness.
