Ingredients
- 2 pieces bone-in ribeye steak
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 whole lemon
- 1.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil with the leaves from 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary and 2 sprigs of fresh thyme.
Step 3
Peel and mince 4 garlic cloves, then add to the herb-olive oil mixture.
Step 4
Zest 1 lemon into the mixture, followed by squeezing its juice, being careful to discard any seeds.
Step 5
Season the steaks on both sides with 1.5 teaspoons of sea salt and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
Step 6
Brush the herbed olive oil mixture generously onto both sides of the steaks, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 7
Preheat your grill to high heat. If using a gas grill, aim for about 450°F (232°C). For charcoal grills, you'll know it's ready when you can only hold your hand over the grill for 1-2 seconds.
Step 8
Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, until nicely browned and slightly charred.
Step 9
Flip the steaks and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Adjust the time slightly less or more depending on desired doneness.
Step 10
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for a tender and flavorful bite.
Step 11
Slice the steaks against the grain and serve immediately, optionally garnished with additional fresh rosemary and thyme.
