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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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).
4. 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.
5. 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.
