Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rib-eye

    Remove the rib-eye steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps in achieving an even cook.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Pat the rib-eye dry with paper towels. Rub both sides generously with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Drizzle olive oil over the steak and rub it in for even coverage.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled.

  2. 4

    Grill the Rib-eye

    Place the seasoned rib-eye on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it. Flip the steak and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Garnish (optional)

    In the last minute of cooking, add a sprig of fresh rosemary and a tablespoon of butter on top of the steak to infuse flavor.

Resting

  1. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked to your preference, remove the rib-eye from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 7

    Slice and Serve

    After resting, slice the rib-eye against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your hand-cut grilled rib-eye!
