Grilled Ribeye with Irish Butter
Ingredients
For the Ribeye:
- 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
For the Irish Butter:
- 1/2 cup unsalted Irish butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Irish Butter:
- In a small bowl, combine the softened Irish butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper, and lemon zest (if using). Mix until well combined.
- Spoon the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap and roll it into a log shape. Chill in the refrigerator until firm.
- Season the Ribeye:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper. If desired, rub with a little olive oil for added flavor and to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Steaks:
- Place the ribeye steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (about 130°F/54°C for medium-rare).
- Rest the Steaks:
- Once cooked to your desired level, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices.
- Serve:
- Slice the chilled Irish butter into rounds and place a piece on each warm ribeye steak just before serving. Allow the butter to melt over the steak.
