This spectacular ribeye recipe will steal the show at your next backyard barbecue!
Ingredients:
• 8 Dry Aged Bone-In Prime Ribeye
• Kosher salt
• Whole black peppercorns, crushed with the bottom of a heavy pan
• About 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 sticks (16 tablespoons, 8 ounces) unsalted butter
• 1/2 bunch of thyme
• 1/2 bunch of rosemary
• 2 large garlic cloves, peeled
Instructions:
- Preheat all grates of a well-oiled charcoal or gas grill to high.
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides and work it in with your hands. Using your hands or a brush, evenly, but lightly, coat the steaks with olive oil
- It is preferable that the steaks be moved to a clean area of the grate every time they are flipped. Depending on the grill size, they may need to be cooked in batches to ensure there is a clean portion of the grill to flip to.
- Place the steaks on the grate, decrease the heat to medium, close the lid, and do not move the steaks until they are well marked and have a light char, about 3 minutes. Flip, close the lid, and repeat on the second side, grilling for 3 minutes.
- Press 1 stick of the butter on the top of one of the steaks, running it across the surface as it melts. Repeat with the remaining steaks, using the second stick of butter as needed. Brush with the herb bundle, flip the steaks, and repeat with the butter and herb brush on the second side. If the butter gets too soft, or the pieces too small, place in a small bowl and use the herb brush to apply.
- Continue to cook with the lid down as much as possible; flip, jockey, and stack as needed, and open to brush with butter using the herb bundle toward the end of cooking.
- Cook to desired doneness: about 4 minutes per side for rare, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare, about 7 minutes per side for medium, and 9 to 10 minutes per side for medium well to well-done.
- Remove the steaks from the grill and place in a baking dish or disposable pan. Aggressively starting with the bone, rub both sides of the steaks with the garlic cloves. Brush again with the butter using the herb bundle, and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
