Ingredients

Steaks

  • 2 to 4 boneless ribeye steaks approximately 1 ¼ to 1 ½-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 degrees 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 degrees 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 degrees F for a perfect medium-rare. See notes for other degrees of doneness.

Notes

  • Rare (125 degrees F): cool red center; about 3 minutes per side;
  • Medium-rare (135 degrees F): warm red center; about 4 minutes per side;
  • Medium (145 degrees F): warm pink center; about 5 minutes per side;
  • Medium-well (150 degrees F): pale pink center; about 5-6 minutes per side;
  • Well-done: Just please don't.
