Ingredients

• For the Steak
  
  

  • 2 ribeye steaks (about 1–1.5 inches thick)
    
    

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    
    

  • Optional: neutral oil (like avocado or vegetable) for seasoning and searing
    
    

• For the Garlic Butter
  
  

  • 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, softened
    
    

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced or crushed
    
    

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or basil, chopped (optional)
    
    

Directions

1. Prepare the Steak
   Bring steaks to room temperature (~20 minutes) for even cooking—this enhances texture and flavor. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper, and optionally rub a bit of oil to aid crust development. 

2. Make the Garlic Butter
   In a small bowl, mix softened butter with garlic (and chopped herbs if using). Shape into a log using plastic wrap, then chill until firm—or at least let it sit 30 minutes for flavors to meld.
   
   

3. Grill the Steak
   Preheat grill to high—roughly 450°F to 500°F. For medium-rare, grill steaks 3–5 minutes per side depending on thickness.
   For thicker cuts, consider a two-zone grill: start over indirect heat, then finish with a high-heat sear.
   
   

4. Rest & Add Butter
   Remove steak from grill and let it rest 5–10 minutes to retain juices.
   Top the resting steak with a pat (or two) of chilled garlic butter so it melts luxuriously over the meat.
