Steak dinner is a popular date night meal. When it’s cooked perfectly, a ribeye is crispy outside and tender and juicy inside with rich meaty flavor. It’s luscious.  

But there’s absolutely no reason you can’t make a fabulous steak dinner at home – for Valentine’s Day or any date night! Next time an anniversary or special occasion rolls around, cook a beautiful restaurant-quality steak dinner for your sweetie at home and you’ll see just how easy it is.  

I’m going to show you how to make grilled ribeye, but don’t worry if you don’t have an outdoor gas grill. You can also use an indoor grill pan or a cast iron skillet.

To make a steak dinner, you can pair grilled ribeye steak with a potato side dish (like Roasted Duck Fat Potatoes) and a steamed vegetable like asparagus. Or keep it simple and serve it with a salad. For some reason, steak just feels like a romantic meal.

But of course you don’t have to wait for date night to make a gorgeous steak at home! The whole family will jump on board with grilled ribeye.

The Best Way to Make Grilled Ribeye Steak  

The quality of the meat is really important because its flavor will really shine through here, so go ahead and splurge on a great-quality steak! There are a couple great sources I highly recommend.

Butcher Box is a meat delivery service with awesome quality steaks! Their humanely-raised beef is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, and ships for free. I love having a couple different cuts of their meat stashed in my freezer.  

US Wellness Meats is another wonderful option if you want to buy high-quality grass-fed and grass-finished beef. Instead of a meat delivery service, you can just select and order what you want. They hand-pick the sustainable family farms that they work with, so you know you’re always getting the best quality. Check out the different cuts of steak they offer, and take a look at their gorgeous ribeye.

How to Season Ribeye

Step 2: Salt and Pepper  

Season both sides with salt and black pepper.  

Step 3: Rub in the Seasonings  

Gently rub the seasonings into both sides of the steak.  

Step 4: Ready to Grill  

Now your meat is ready to grill!

Pro Tip: Put the raw steaks on a plate lined with plastic wrap. Once you transfer the steaks to the grill, discard the plastic wrap and you can use the plate to bring the cooked steaks back inside.  

How to Grill Ribeye

Step 1: Put the Steak on the Grill  

Place the steak on the grill, close the grill, and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes on the first side.  

Step 2: Flip It  

Flip the steak over and cover the grill again.  

Step 3: Check it for Doneness

Cook the steak until it reaches your desired level of doneness. (An instant-read thermometer is the most accurate and easiest way to test this.)

Variations on This Recipe  

  • Grill pan instead of outdoor grill. You can use this same cooking method with an indoor grill pan if you don’t have an outdoor grill.
  • Cast iron skillet. If you don’t have a gas grill or an indoor grill pan, you can use a cast iron skillet to cook ribeye. Make sure to get the pan really hot, add a dollop of duck fat or ghee, and let the steak get a nice sear before flipping it.

Tips for Grilling Ribeye Steak  

  • Look for good marbling in the steaks. Marbling refers to the white streaks of intramuscular fat that you see in the muscle. This helps keep the meat moist, tender, and flavorful as it cooks.
  • Skip the marinade when making ribeye. This is for 2 reasons: 1) marinade adds quite a bit of flavor to meat (and we want the amazing flavor of ribeye to shine through), and 2) marinade tenderizes meat (and ribeye is already tender). The only seasonings we need are olive oil, salt, and black pepper!
  • Make sure to let the steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before grilling. This will help make sure it cooks evenly.
  • Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel before seasoning and cooking them. This removes excess moisture and helps the steak brown better.
  • Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check when the steaks are done. This will give you the most precise way to know when the meat is cooked to your liking.

    Do you cover steak in grill pan on the stove?

      Marilyn, No, I find that it can turn out a bit rubbery if it’s covered using a grill pan on the stove. If you want to minimize the mess a bit, you can use a splatter guard or lightly drape a foil tent over the grill pan while it cooks.
