Instructions

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to high heat, approximately 450°F to 500°F.

Pro tip: A hot grill is essential for a good sear.

Prepare the Steaks

Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and season generously with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Pro tip: Allow the steaks to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling.

Grill the Steaks

Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, turning only once.

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature: 130°F for medium-rare.

Rest the Steaks

Remove the steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Pro tip: Resting helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
