Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the Kobe ribeye steak out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes prior to grilling to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil all over the steak, then generously season both sides with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450°F (232°C) to 500°F (260°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Steak

    Place the seasoned Kobe ribeye steak on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on one side, without moving it, to get a nice sear. Flip the steak and grill for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness.

  3. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Optional Finishing Touch

  1. 6

    Add Flavor

    If desired, during the last minute of grilling, add a sprig of fresh rosemary and a tablespoon of butter on top of the steak to infuse additional flavor while it finishes cooking.
