Notes

  • For a 1-inch thick ribeye, follow these cooking time guides:
    • Rare (135°F): Cook for 4 minutes on the first side and 3-4 minutes on the second side.
    • Medium Rare (140°F): Cook for 5 minutes on the first side and 4-5 minutes on the second side.
    • Medium (150°F): Cook for 6 minutes on the first side and 4-5 minutes on the second side.
    • Medium-Well (155°F): Cook for 7 minutes on the first side and 5-6 minutes on the second side.
    • Well Done (165°F): Cook for 8 minutes on the first side and 6-7 minutes on the second side.
    • Adjust the cooking time for each side by 1 minute in either direction for each ¼-inch change in thickness. 
  • Trim any excess exterior fat to prevent the steak from catching on fire.
  • Let the steaks come to room temperature before grilling to avoid tough, unevenly-cooked steak.
  • Season the meat generously to bring out the natural flavors. Some of the seasoning may fall off during the process of grilling, so be sure to pat it into the meat.
  • Pull the steaks off the grill about 5°F before your desired level of doneness. They will continue to cook as they rest. 
  • Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes after grilling to seal in the juices.
  • Slice the steaks against the grain.
Storage: Store grilled ribeye in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
