Ingredients
2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)
Fresh thyme sprigs (optional)
Preparation
Steps:
Prepare the steaks: Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Season the steaks: Rub each steak with olive oil, then generously season both sides with coarse sea salt and black pepper. Add minced garlic and, if desired, fresh rosemary and thyme.
Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450-500°F). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the steaks: Place the steaks on the hot grill. For medium-rare, grill each side for about 4-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the steaks. Adjust the time for your preferred doneness.
Rest the steaks: Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy steak.
Serve: Slice the steaks against the grain and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
