Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2  boneless ribeye steaks at least 1 ½-inch thick
  • 2 teaspoons  coarse kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons garlic scape butter optional

Instructions

  • One hour before cooking, bring the steaks to room temperature by taking them out on the counter for 1-2 hours. Generously salt and pepper the steaks at least 40 minutes prior to cooking, OR right before cooking.
  • Preheat the gas grill well, at least 15 minutes.
  • Clean the grates and lightly oil the grates. Here’s how I do it: I pour a little vegetable oil on a piece of paper towel. And rub the oiled paper towel on grates, using a pair of kitchen tongs. (You can watch it in action in the video below.)
  • Place the prepared steak on the grill. Cook it for about a minute, then turn it quarter turn for a nice diamond grill marks, if desired.  Flip and cook for another minute. Then continue to grill the steak until desired doneness, flipping every minute or two. I like my steaks medium rare, which means I cook mine till 130°F.
  • Transfer onto a clean plate, cover and rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. If desired, place a slice of butter on top of the steak before covering.
