Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup scallions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Chop the scallions, fresh parsley, and fresh thyme. Set them aside in separate bowls for easy access.
- Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes. This helps them cook more evenly.
- While the steaks are resting, prepare the herbed scallion topping. In a small bowl, combine the chopped scallions, parsley, thyme, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well and season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are covered with ash. If using a gas grill, preheat for about 10 minutes.
- Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help achieve a nice sear. Brush both sides of the steaks with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Once the grill is hot, place the steaks on the grill grates. Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them. This will create a beautiful sear.
- After 4-5 minutes, flip the steaks using tongs and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side for medium-rare doneness. Adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of doneness (about 3-4 minutes more for medium, or 5-6 minutes for medium-well).
- Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a cutting board. Let them rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat.
- After resting, slice the steaks against the grain into thick strips. This will ensure tenderness in every bite.
- Finally, spoon the herbed scallion topping generously over the sliced steaks. Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
Tips
- Room Temperature Steaks: Always let your ribeye steaks sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before grilling. This helps them cook more evenly and achieve that perfect sear.
- Herb Variations: Feel free to experiment with different herbs in your scallion topping! Fresh basil or cilantro can add unique flavors that complement the steak beautifully.
- Searing Technique: To get that beautiful crust, resist the urge to move the steaks around on the grill. Let them sear for 4-5 minutes on each side without interference.
- Resting Time: Don't skip the resting period after grilling! Letting the steaks rest for about 5 minutes allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is tender and juicy.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your grilled steak with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal that’s not only delicious but also visually appealing.
