This recipe delivers restaurant-quality ribeye steaks grilled over charcoal with a simple seasoning of kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, resulting in a tender, juicy, and smoky steak perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks, about 12 oz (340 g) each, 1 to 1.5 inches thick
  • Kosher salt, coarse
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • Olive oil, for brushing
  • Optional garlic powder, a light sprinkle
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) unsalted butter
  • Optional fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme sprigs)

Instructions

  1. Bring steaks to room temperature by letting them sit on a plate for about 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the charcoal grill by lighting a chimney starter filled with charcoal briquettes. Once coals are covered with white ash, spread them evenly on one side of the grill to create a two-zone fire.
  3. Clean the grill grates with a grill brush and lightly oil them using a paper towel dipped in olive oil and tongs.
  4. Brush each ribeye lightly with olive oil. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper on both sides. Optionally, add a pinch of garlic powder.
  5. Sear the steaks directly over the hot coals for 4-5 minutes per side, flipping once with tongs without piercing the meat.
  6. Move the steaks to the cooler side of the grill, close the lid, and cook for another 3-5 minutes depending on desired doneness.
  7. Check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium.
  8. Remove steaks from the grill, top each with a pat of butter and optional rosemary sprig. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Let steaks rest at room temperature before grilling for even cooking. Use a two-zone fire for searing and finishing. Avoid pressing down on steaks to keep juices inside. Use a meat thermometer for accurate doneness. For dairy-free, skip butter and finish with olive oil.
