Ingredients
2 (12-ounce) ribeye steaks
1/4 cup Appalachian Mountain Herb Blend Infused Olive Oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Optional Garnish: Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, combine the Appalachian Mountain Herb Blend Infused Olive Oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh thyme, and rosemary if using. Mix well to combine.
- Marinate the Steaks:
- Place the ribeye steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
- Pour the prepared herb-infused olive oil mixture over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450-500°F (230-260°C).
- Season the Steaks:
- Remove the steaks from the marinade and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling.
- Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Grill the Steaks:
- Place the steaks on the preheated grill.
- Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred level of doneness.
- While grilling, brush the steaks with the remaining herb-infused olive oil for added flavor.
- Rest and Finish:
- Remove the steaks from the grill and transfer them to a cutting board.
- Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- While the steaks are resting, place a small pat of unsalted butter on top of each steak to melt.
- Serve:
- Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with a drizzle of any remaining Appalachian Mountain Herb Blend Infused Olive Oil.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve the grilled steak with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, both of which can also be seasoned with the Appalachian Mountain Herb Blend Infused Olive Oil for a cohesive flavor profile.
