Ingredients for Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Roasted Garlic and Herb Butter

For the Steaks:

3–4 ribeye steaks – Bone-in or boneless, depending on your preference

Honey Garlic seasoning – For that sweet and savory flavor. You can use Fire and Smoke Society’s version or your own favorite brand

For the Roasted Garlic and Herb Butter:

8 cloves roasted garlic – Roasted garlic adds a rich, mellow, and slightly sweet flavor
1/2 shallot, diced – Shallots bring a subtle, delicate onion flavor to the butter
1 tablespoon rosemary, chopped – Fresh rosemary adds a fragrant, herby note
1 tablespoon thyme, chopped – Thyme gives an earthy depth to the butter
2 teaspoons kosher salt – To enhance the flavors of the garlic and herbs
2 teaspoons Mexican chili powder – A mild heat with a touch of smokiness
1 teaspoon black pepper – Freshly ground for the best flavor
1 block (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened – This forms the base of the roasted garlic and herb butter, making it rich and indulgent

How to Make Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Roasted Garlic and Herb Butter

Prepare the Steaks

Start by preheating your grill to high heat. For the perfect grilled ribeye steak, you’ll need a blazing hot grill to achieve that beautiful sear and lock in all the juices. Once the grill is nice and hot, brush each ribeye steak with avocado oil. The oil acts as a binder to ensure that your seasoning sticks to the meat, giving the steaks a flavorful crust.

Now, season the steaks generously with Honey Garlic seasoning. Coat both sides of the steak for an even flavor throughout. Honey Garlic seasoning provides the right balance of sweetness and savory depth, complementing the natural richness of the ribeye steak. If you don’t have this specific seasoning, feel free to experiment with other blends that include garlic, honey, and a hint of heat.

Grill the Steaks

With your steaks seasoned and your grill ready, it’s time to place them on the hot grill. Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness. If you prefer your steak more well-done, simply add a few more minutes of cooking time to achieve your desired level of doneness. For a perfectly cooked steak, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, the target temperature is 130°F.

If you’re grilling bone-in ribeye steaks, be sure to check the temperature closer to the bone as it may cook a bit more slowly than the rest of the steak. Once the steaks are grilled to perfection, remove them from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Prepare the Roasted Garlic and Herb Butter

While your steaks are grilling away, it’s time to prepare the roasted garlic and herb butter that will elevate these steaks to new heights of flavor. In a small mixing bowl, combine the following ingredients:

Roasted garlic: This adds a creamy and rich base to the butter, with a mellow garlic flavor.
Diced shallot: Shallots have a sweet and mild onion taste that pairs wonderfully with garlic.
Freshly chopped rosemary and thyme: These herbs contribute earthy, fragrant notes that complement the richness of the steak.
Kosher salt and black pepper: For the seasoning, bring out the best of the garlic, herbs, and butter.
Mexican chili powder: A subtle smoky heat to balance the sweetness of the honey garlic seasoning on the steak.

Once you’ve combined these ingredients, add the softened unsalted butter to the bowl. Mix everything together thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly incorporated into the butter. The garlic, herbs, and spices should be evenly distributed, creating a flavorful and aromatic compound butter.

Finish the Steaks

Once the steaks have rested and you’re ready to serve, it’s time to top each grilled ribeye with a generous dollop of roasted garlic and herb butter. As the butter melts over the warm steak, it’ll create a luscious sauce that enhances the steak’s rich flavor. The combination of the grilled, juicy ribeye and the creamy, herb-infused butter is nothing short of divine.

Serve and Enjoy

To serve, place each grilled ribeye steak on a plate and garnish with any remaining roasted garlic herb butter. You can even drizzle a bit of the melted butter over the steak for an extra touch of indulgence.

These Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Roasted Garlic and Herb Butter are perfect for a family dinner, a weekend BBQ, or even a special occasion. Pair them with some roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple side salad for a complete and balanced meal.

Tips for the Perfect Grilled Ribeye Steaks

How to Achieve the Perfect Grill Marks

For beautiful grill marks and a perfect sear, make sure your grill is preheated to high heat. Place the steaks on the grill and allow them to cook without moving them. This will give the steaks time to develop those gorgeous grill marks. After a few minutes, rotate the steak 90 degrees to achieve a crisscross pattern.

Let the Steaks Rest After Grilling

Resting the steaks after grilling is crucial to ensuring that the juices redistribute throughout the meat. If you skip this step, you risk losing those flavorful juices when you cut into the steak, leading to a dry and less tender bite. Let the steaks rest for a minimum of 5 minutes before serving.

How to Tell When Your Steak is Done

The most reliable method to check if your steak is cooked to perfection is by using a meat thermometer. Here are the internal temperatures for various levels of doneness:

Rare: 120°F-125°F
Medium-rare: 130°F-135°F
Medium: 140°F-145°F
Medium-well: 150°F-155°F
Well done: 160°F and above

Be sure to remove the steaks from the grill when they’re just shy of your target temperature, as they will continue cooking slightly while they rest.

Can I Make the Roasted Garlic and Herb Butter in Advance?

Yes! You can easily prepare the roasted garlic and herb butter ahead of time. Simply make it, place it in an airtight container, and refrigerate it until you’re ready to use it. The flavors will continue to develop and deepen as it sit in the fridge.

How to Make Grilled Ribeye Steaks Healthier?

While ribeye steaks are delicious and flavorful, they can be a bit high in fat. To make this dish healthier, you can swap the ribeye for a leaner cut like a sirloin steak or flank steak. You can also use light butter or reduce the amount of butter used in the recipe.

How Can I Customize This Recipe?

This recipe is incredibly versatile. Feel free to switch up the herbs in the roasted garlic butter based on your preferences. Parsley, oregano, or basil can be great alternatives to rosemary and thyme. If you prefer more heat, you can increase the amount of chili powder or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the butter for an extra kick.

Conclusion

Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Roasted Garlic and Herb Butter are a showstopper meal that’s both easy to make and incredibly delicious. Whether you’re grilling for a special occasion, a family dinner, or simply enjoying a weekend treat, this recipe is sure to satisfy your steak cravings. The combination of tender, juicy ribeye steaks, and the rich, herby butter creates a flavor experience that will have you coming back for more.
