A thick-cut ribeye steak seared over screaming hot charcoal. Basted with unsalted butter, garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme for a rich, deeply satisfying woodfire crust.

Ingredients

  • Thick-cut USDA Prime Ribeye1.5 lb
  • Coarse Sea Salt2 tbsp
  • Cracked Black Pepper1.5 tbsp
  • Unsalted Butter3 tbsp
  • Fresh Garlic Cloves (crushed)4 clove
  • Fresh Rosemary & Thyme Sprigs3 pcs

Instructions

  1. 1

    Remove the ribeye from refrigeration 30 minutes before roasting to bring it closer to room temperature.

  2. 2

    Set your charcoal grill for dual-zone cooking: high heat on one side (screaming hot chimney of coals) and indirect medium on the other.

  3. 3

    Season the meat generously with sea salt and cracked pepper on all sides.

  4. 4

    Place the ribeye on the indirect zone of the grill until it reaches an internal temperature of 115°F (46°C) for a reverse sear.

  5. 5

    Move the ribeye directly over the red-hot glowing charcoal grate. Sear for 2 minutes on each side to build a beautiful deep brownish mahogany crust.

  6. 6

    During the final minute of searing, place a small cast-iron skillet on the grates, add butter, smashed garlic, and herb sprigs. Baste the melted foaming herb butter continuously over the ribeye.

  7. 7

    Transfer the ribeye to a cutting board, pour remaining skillet butter over it, and rest for 8 minutes before slicing.
