Grilled Ribeye Recipe
This Grilled Ribeye Recipe is one of my family's favorite dinners of the summer. It's so easy to make with 3 ingredients and about 15 minutes of time. I explain how to grill the ribeye steak at two different temperatures so it's tender with a nice char every time. Cook it on charcoal or a gas grill, depending on your preference.
Equipment
- Grill
Ingredients
- 12-14 oz Ribeye
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill on medium heat with the lid closed until it reaches about 350-400° F
- Prep the steak by patting the ribeye dry with paper towels. Season to taste with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Grill over medium heat by placing the steak on the grill and closing the lid. Grill about 6 minutes on the first side. When the steak releases easily and doesn't stick, it's ready to flip. Flip and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 110°F
- Remove the steak and set it aside briefly (this is prepping it for the sear stage)
- Turn the grill up to high heat and let it reach 450°F
- Return the ribeye to the grill and sear 90 seconds per side. Flip once more if needed for grill marks and crust.
- Remove the steak when the internal temperature reaches 125° for medium-rare.
- Let the steak rest for 5-8 minutes to keep the juices locked in. Serve immediately after resting.

Notes
This ribeye was about 1 ¼ inches thick. Cooking times will vary slightly depending on the thickness of your steak, so always use a meat thermometer to cook to the internal temperature for the best result.
Expert tips
- Pat the steak very dry before placing it on the grill. This helps it get an even and deep char on the outside.
- Never flip the steak until it releases easily from the grill. A key indicator is that it's ready to cook on the second side.
- You'll know when the steak is done grilling by using a meat thermometer. Cooking times will vary slightly depending on the thickness of your steak, so always use a meat thermometer to cook to the internal temperature for the best results; look for 125ºF for medium-rare.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking before slicing and serving. This helps the juices to evenly distribute so that every bite is moist and juicy.
- Slice the steak against the grain. One of the most important tips in cooking steak! It will give a tender bite that melts-in-your-mouth.
