Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribeye

    Take the bone-in ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling.

  2. 2

    Season the Steaks

    In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the steaks. Drizzle olive oil on both sides and rub it in.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat. Ensure that the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Grill the Steaks

    Place the seasoned ribeye steaks on the grill over direct heat. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice sear forms, then flip and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steaks

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the ribeye against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
