How to Grill Ribeye Steak (Perfect Every Time)
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to help the surface sear properly. Then season generously with garlic salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Preheat your grill to 450°F. Clean and oil the grates well to prevent sticking. A clean, hot grill is key to a great sear.
- Place steaks on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side. Thicker steaks may need a little longer.
- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer for the best doneness:
- 130°F = medium-rare steak
- 140°F = medium steak
- 150°F = medium-well steak
- Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender and flavorful.
Ginger Teriyaki Sauce Recipe
- Mix the ingredients: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, water, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and brown sugar. Stir well.
- Simmer: Bring the sauce to a slight boil, stirring occasionally.
- Thicken the sauce: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Pour it into the saucepan and stir to combine.
- Cook until thickened: Let the sauce simmer for about 1 minute or until slightly thickened.
- Serve: Pour the warm sauce over grilled rib eye steaks and garnish with sliced green onions, fresh herbs, or a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy!
Tips for Grilling Rib Eye Steak
- Let the steak come to room temp before grilling for even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to prevent overcooking.
- Always rest the steak before slicing—this locks in juices.
- Oil your grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Don’t move the steak too much while it cooks—let it sear for a flavorful crust.
