Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Begin by removing the ribeye from the refrigerator and letting it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Seasoning

    Rub the bone-in ribeye with olive oil, ensuring it is well coated. Season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika on both sides.

  3. 3

    Grilling Setup

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring one side has direct heat and the other side has indirect heat.

  4. 4

    Grilling the Ribeye

    Place the ribeye on the grill over direct heat. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, achieving a nice sear.

  5. 5

    Finish on Indirect Heat

    Move the ribeye to the indirect heat side of the grill and add fresh rosemary on top. Close the lid and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  6. 6

    Resting

    Remove the ribeye from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
