Ingredients

  • ribeye steak
  • sea salt to taste, kosher salt recommended
  • black pepper to taste
  • garlic powder to taste

Instructions

  • Remove the steak from the refrigerator 10–20 minutes before cooking to come to room temperature.
  • Pat the steak dry with paper towels and place it on a plate or baking sheet.
  • Season both sides of the steak liberally with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Clean the grill grates with a wire brush, then preheat the grill to high (about 500°F for gas grills). For charcoal, arrange coals to allow direct and indirect heat.
  • Sear the steak directly over high heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until you see grill marks.
  • Sear the fat edges of the steak by holding them against the grill with tongs until crispy.
  • Check doneness with a meat thermometer: 125–130°F for medium-rare, 135–140°F for medium; remove a few degrees early to allow for carryover cooking.
  • Let the steak rest at least 10 minutes before slicing so the juices redistribute.
  • Slice and serve with your preferred side dishes.
