How Long Do I Grill A Ribeye Steak

Grilling is a perfect way to prepare ribeye steak. You get a very good flavor of the grilled beef and the aroma of the smoke. To make the perfect steak, you have to start with the best steak cuts. Your steak is only as good as the meat where it comes from.

Marinate your steak in your favorite marinade. The simplest would be seasoning the meat with salt, pepper and your favorite marinade — steak sauce, barbecue, it is up to you. You can also combine black pepper, olive oil, thyme and rub this mixture to both sides of the steak.

It is time for your grill to get fired up. The usual way is to stack the charcoal and wood into a pyramid pile and then light them up — it is not the best way. Better is to arrange the wood and coals evenly as a layer. Do not try and touch them once they have been lit. Using this method allows you to have a range of temperatures within the grill, so you get a lot of control over the cooking time.

If the flames start to subside and the charcoal starts to glow red, the fire should be ready for your ribeye steak. Once you place the steaks on the girl, do not turn them around too much. One side of the steak should be cooked in 5-7 minutes. The other side should be cooked in about 4-5 minutes. When the fire flares up because of the fat dripping onto the charcoal, move the steak to a different area of the grill until the flare-up dies. Also, do not flip around more than once because this destroys the caramelization step and the formation of the steak’s crust. Use a tongs so that the meat will not get punctured and does not let the juices escape.

With these steps, you should now know how to grill the perfect ribeye steak that you will enjoy and love.

How To Do Ribeye Steaks On The Barbecue Grill

Close How Long do I Grill a Ribeye Steak?

CHEF'S TIP: Don't shy away from steaks with marbling (fat) as this ensures that the steak is full of flavour.

step 1: Prepare the Steaks
Remove from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature (for about 20 minutes).

If bought from mail order, defrost overnight in a refrigerator, in original packaging and pat dry.

step 2: Preheat Your Pan
Heat a griddle or frying pan over a high heat until hot, but not smoking. (If the pan is too hot, the outside will burn before the inside is done, if it's too cold, your steaks will be tough).

Brush the steaks with oil (to avoid using too much), or pour a little oil into the pan, and season if desired. (Canola or groundnut oil is best, but olive oil or a knob of butter is fine too.)

Place the steaks in the pan, the "sizzle" will tell you if it's hot enough.

step 3: Cook to Your Liking
For a medium steak: Cook on one side without touching for 3-4 minutes, then reduce to a medium heat and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Gently turn the steak over, without piercing it (or the juices will escape) and cook for a further 6 minutes. (Vary the times here if you prefer a rare or well done steak.)

To test if it's done, press the steak gently with the tip of your finger. Rare should be soft and supple, well done firm, and medium in between.

step 4: Rest Your Steaks
Resting is just as important as cooking, as it allows the meat to become warm, moist and tender all the way through.

Remove from the pan, place on a rack and cover with foil and leave in a warm place for up to 10 minutes. Remember it is always better to over rest your steaks than to under rest them. Resting helps the meat to achieve the full flavour and tenderness.

step 5: Serving Your Steaks
Lay your table with razor-sharp steak knives designed to cut cleanly through the meat.

Serve your steaks on hot dinner plates with your choice of accompaniments and enjoy.

Cooking Times for the Perfect Steak

These times are a guide only and refer to a steak that is approximately 2.5cm or 1" thick. Thicker steaks may require a longer cooking time and less for thinner steaks.

Rare: 1-2 minutes per side. Rest for 6-8 minutes
Medium rare: 2-2.5 minutes per side. Rest for 5 minutes
Medium: 3 minutes per side. Rest for 4 minutes
Well done: 4.5 minutes per side. Rest for 1 minute
