Ingredients

  • 2 steaks ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • to taste sprigs fresh rosemary (for garnish)
  • to taste wedges lemon (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them cook evenly.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture generously over both sides of each steak.
  3. Preheat your grill to high heat (or use a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat). Make sure it’s nice and hot before cooking the meat.
  4. Place the steaks on the hot grill or skillet. For medium-rare, cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes on one side without moving them. Flip the steaks and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Adjust time based on desired doneness.
  5. Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate and cover with foil. Let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  6. Slice the steaks against the grain for maximum tenderness. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.

💡 Chef's Notes

Let the steaks rest after cooking for better flavor.
