Ingredients

• 2 pieces Ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt
• 1 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps achieve a good crust when grilling.

Step 2

Rub both sides of the steaks with olive oil.

Step 3

Mix the sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Evenly coat both sides of the steaks with this spice mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat. Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well.

Step 6

While the steaks are cooking, prepare the lemon butter. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped parsley until well combined.

Step 7

Once the steaks are done cooking, transfer them to a clean plate or cutting board. Tent with foil and let them rest for 5-7 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

Serve the steaks hot with a dollop of lemon butter on top. Allow the butter to melt slightly over the crusted surface before enjoying.
