Let’s Make it together
Preheat Your Grill: Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat—this ensures those grill marks will be picture-perfect. Wait until it’s nice and hot before placing your steaks on.
Prepare the Steaks: Drizzle both sides of the ribeye with olive oil and season generously with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Don’t be shy; this is where flavor lives!
Grill Time!: Place the seasoned steaks directly on the hot grill grates. Grill them for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare goodness. Keep an eye out for those beautiful grill marks!
Let Them Rest: After grilling, transfer your steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute—nobody likes a dry steak!
Slicing and Serving: Slice against the grain into thick pieces after resting. Serve hot alongside your favorite sides or just eat them straight off the plate—no judgment here!
Enjoying a succulent ribeye can turn any ordinary meal into an extraordinary feast fit for kings—or in our case—dads! Whether you’re celebrating Father’s Day or just feeling fancy on a random Tuesday evening, this grilled masterpiece will steal the show every single time!
