Learn how to make a grilled ribeye steak dinner at home; with this easy method your steak will be perfectly browned and crisp outside, and tender and juicy inside every time!
About 20 minutes before you want to cook the steaks, get them out of the fridge and let them come to room temperature.
Preheat the grill to around 450 to 500F.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels.
Drizzle the olive oil on both sides of the steak, and then season both sides with the salt and black pepper.
Gently rub the seasonings into both sides of the steak.
Place the steak on the grill, close the grill, and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes on the first side.
Flip it over, cover the grill again, and cook until it reaches your desired level of doneness. (An instant-read thermometer is the most accurate and easiest way to test this.)
Let the steak rest for 5 to 10 minutes after cooking.
Serve.
Notes
Other Ways to Cook Ribeye: 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.
Serving Suggestions: To make this grilled ribeye into a full meal, serve it with a potato side dish (Roasted Duck Fat Potatoes are perfect), and a steamed vegetable like asparagus.

You can use a basic instant-read thermometer to do this. Here is a quick steak temperature chart:
