Grilled Ribeye Steak Recipes
My search for the best grilled ribeye steak recipes started and almost stopped right here with this one courtesy of my best friends of a friend. The flavor in this recipe is just incredible!
I first met Dave and his brother Tony at Le Mans as a friend of one of my business associates and ever since that day we've met up at “La Sarthe” for a few beers and a barbecue. (Don't tell our wives – they think we go for the motor racing!)
Ribeye steak is my favorite because it has the right balance of fat content. It's the fat where the flavor is and that's why you need to look for a good "marbling" of white fat throughout the steak. (See notes at bottom of the page)
Get your butcher to to cut your steaks reasonably thick, I like to go for about 1 inch.
After that it's all about a red hot grill and the rub and there's enough here for about 4 good sized steaks.
Don't waste your ribeye by preparing straight from the refrigerator, always get your steaks up to room temperature before slapping them on the grill.
Crush the cloves in a pestle and mortar and then add the remaining ingredients, give it a mix and your ready to “rock 'n' roll”.
Sprinkle the rub on both sides of your steaks and then grill over the highest heat that you can muster for the appropriate lenth of time dependent on how you like your steak done.
Remember, feeling your steak is the best way to tell whether it's cooked to your liking so read my section on how to grill steaks to get it right.
If you prefer to use a bbq thermometer then you need to look out for:-
135°F (57.2°C) - Rare
145°F (62.6°C) - Medium rare
160°F (71.1°C) - Medium
170°F (77.7°C) - Well done
Note: - The amount of fat marbling in the meat is down to the cut of meat, the breed of the animal and what it was fed on when alive. To ensure that you get the best and can make the most out of grilled ribeye steak recipes like this, make sure you use a local butcher who knows where his meat has been sourced from.
