Ribeye steak, when grilled, is the ideal steak for a celebration. This easy-to-follow photo guide will teach you how to grill a ribeye steak on a gas grill so that it is tender and juicy every time. This recipe for grilled ribeye steak will make you the grill master in no time.

• The perfect steak for any celebratory meal or unexpected treat.
• Ribeye steaks are particularly simple to grill to perfection on a gas grill.
• Bigger than filets, for those with a hearty appetite
• Ribeyes are renowned for their tender, flavorful marbling.
• They taste just like prime rib, but with less fat and more flavor thanks to a fantastic Maillard reaction.
• Simple seasonings will take it from good to great.

Cooking a ribeye steak to medium, with a pink but firm interior temperature of 140 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit, takes about 12 minutes on a 450-degree grill. Ten minutes is about right for steaks that are an inch thick.

There are many factors to consider when grilling, such as the size and thickness of the steaks, the temperature of the meat after it has rested at room temperature, and the grill itself.

• Grilling time for a rare-cold red center (125°-130°) is roughly 6-8 minutes. Please note the warning that follows.
• 9–10 minutes total grill time for medium rare (130–135 degrees) or warm red throughout.
• Grill for a total of 10-14 minutes for a medium-pink, firm temperature (140°-150°).
• Grilling time for medium well to medium (150°-155°) is about 13-16 minutes.
• For a well-done (160°) steak, plan on spending at least 15 minutes at the grill.

Having both an instant-read meat thermometer and a grill surface thermometer is essential for properly cooked steaks.

Cooking times are estimates and will vary depending on the cut, the grill temperature, and the amount of rest time. Allow for a 2°C to 4°C temperature rise after removing from the grill and cooking to the desired internal temperature.

Be cautious if you like your steaks rare.

Rare is difficult to hit effectively. Reduce the time you grill the first side from six to four minutes, and keep a close eye on it while checking the internal temperature with a thermometer. Keep in mind that additional cooking time can be added at a later time, but a steak cannot be uncooked.

Ribeye Steak: The Facts

Ribeye steak is similar to a prime rib roast slice. It can be ordered with or without ribs. It's the same cut of meat, but the bone-in variety is sometimes called prime rib steak. The boneless variety is extremely popular.

If you care about quality, you should only buy prime or choice products. Don't waste your money on subpar or ungraded ribeye steak.

Ribeye Steak Seasoning

You can season it with whatever you like, but salt and pepper go with everything. My 7:2:1 and 7:2:2 All-Purpose Seasoning, to which we plan to add garlic, is what we have in mind. Be careful not to oversalt your food. You can always add on, but you can never take away.

✔️Tips

• If there is excess fat that can be trimmed from the perimeter, do so. It doesn't improve the flavor and can cause a fire hazard if it melts.
• When seasoning, timing is everything. Unless you're going to cook the meat for an hour or more, you shouldn't salt it for more than a few minutes. Between those times, it will extract moisture from the meat fibers without giving them a chance to replace the lost moisture.
• Do not skip bringing the food to room temperature before cooking, or else the cooking time will increase dramatically and the outside will be overcooked before the inside reaches the desired temperature.
• Halfway through grilling on each side, turn the meat 90 degrees to create crisscross marks.
• Resting after cooking is essential. Because the meat fibers can reabsorb moisture, the steak stays tender and juicy.
• Steak sauce and marinades are not permitted.

❓FAQs

Tips for Complementing Grilled Ribeye Steaks

Though the steaks are delicious, remember that butter is a universally good addition. Use Blue Cheese and Garlic Compound Butter or a pat of butter as a topping.

We can't get enough of potato-based side dishes like baked potatoes, roasted potatoes, baked potatoes with cheese, and twice-baked potatoes.

You can easily round out your meal by adding a fresh salad or vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, or green beans.

Combining Wines

We'll serve the strip steaks with a selection of fine wines, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir.

Finally, we don't recommend any steak marinades or sauces.

Uses for the rest of the meal

Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days in a sealed container.

My go-to way to enjoy leftover steak is to slice it up and put it on a salad. To reheat, however, all you need is a dash of oil and some medium heat in a skillet.

Prime or choice ribeye steaks are a good place to begin. Personally, I favor 12-16 ounce, 1-1/4 inch thick each Resting the steaks at room temperature for 30 minutes is a crucial step. This increases the meat's temperature, making it much simpler to achieve the desired internal temperature.

Grill to medium-high heat (between 450 and 500 degrees Fahrenheit) while the steaks rest. Grill grates should be oiled and cleaned before use.

Get rid of as much excess fat as possible if you find it.

Before throwing the steaks on the grill, season them however you like. We use our own 7:2:2 seasoning, which includes garlic powder, but some Kosher salt and pepper would also do.

Grill up some steaks. Put the lid down For 6 minutes, cook the first side. To get those attractive crossed grill marks, turn the meat over halfway through cooking. Turn over and continue cooking until the meat reaches the desired doneness. Internal temperatures of 140°F to 145°F can be reached in a total of about 12 minutes.

Take out and set aside for at least 5 minutes. A lightweight aluminum tent would work well here.

Pro Tips:

1. Before grilling, let the steak rest at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes. If you don't, the steak will take longer to cook, and you risk burning the outside.
2. Prepare flavors right before throwing on the grill.
3. Grill at an intermediate temperature of 450 degrees. These can overcook rapidly at a high grill temperature.
4. Ten minutes of cooling time is recommended after cooking.
5. Do not rely solely on a timer when cooking. Use an instant-read thermometer in addition to the provided times for accurate results. Don't take a chance on your expensive meat being ruined by guessing.
6. WARNING: It's easy to "overcook" when you're trying for rare. Keep in mind that removing it from the grill will cause a slight increase in internal temperature. Keep in mind that you can always cook it longer later, but a steak can never be uncooked if it is overcooked.

This recipe card allows you to modify the serving size. It calculates the proportions of the ingredients for you. On the other hand, it does not change the instructions' wording. You'll have to take care of it by yourself.

Unless otherwise specified, servings are what I consider to be a typical size. The recipe's serving size is indicated up top. With home cooking, there are always surprises. Estimates are all that can be made about a food's nutritional value. In my opinion, salt is the most commonly used ingredient for flavoring food.
