Grilling season makes me so happy and this Lemon Garlic Butter Grilled Ribeye is a favorite.

I especially love grilling steaks this time of year and enjoying them with a nice glass of red wine, a Lemon Arugula Salad and Mediterranean Vegetables. 

Today’s ribeye recipe is the perfect steak to celebrate the warmer months.

My family loves steak and makes it a lot.

I especially love it in the summer months when I can pair with delicious summer pasta salads and grilled vegetables.

This recipe adds a lemon butter that works perfectly with the steak and adds so much flavor.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s an overview of the simple ingredients we’re using. Jump to the recipe card below for exact ingredient amounts and printable instructions. 

• Ribeye Steak: When I buy ribeye steaks at my grocery store they are often called Delmonico ribeye steaks.
• Marinade: The marinade uses Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, soy sauce, olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper. Honestly this is a marinade I use a lot when I make beef. One thing to note is that because of the acidity from the lemon juice I would only marinade the beef for 2 hours or less. The acidity will break the meat down too much and ruin the texture of the beef.  I love it as a marinade on all types of cuts of beef including this Easy Grilled Flank Steak with Chimichurri to this Pan-Seared Ribeye Steak with Goat Cheese. 
• Lemon Garlic Butter: The lemon garlic butter is the perfect finishing touch for these grilled ribeye steaks. I love the savory, rich flavor it adds to the steak. To create this butter let the butter come to room temperature so it is soft and then you will stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic and chopped parsley. 

How do you a Make Grilled Ribeye

Step 1: Create Marinade: Pull your ribeye out of the refrigerator and set on the counter. In a medium mixing bowl combine the marinade ingredients and whisk well. Add the steaks to a large ziplock bag or container and pour the marinade over the steaks. Marinade in the fridge for two hours

Step 2: Grill Steak: When you a ready to grill the steaks pull them out of the fridge and let them sit out until they come to room temperature which you can do this while you prep your lemon garlic butter.  Heat the grill to medium high heat and place the steaks on the grill. The steaks should cook until golden brown and just slightly charred, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the steaks over and continue to grill another 4 to to 5 minutes for medium-rare which is an internal temperature of 135 degrees F, 5 to 7 minutes for medium which is 140 degrees F or 8 to 10 minutes for medium-well which is 150 degrees F.

Step 3: Serve: Transfer the steaks to a cutting board or platter. Using foil loosely tent them and let rest about 5 minutes to seal the juices. Slice the ribeye or serve with a dollop of the lemon garlic butter.

What is a Ribeye Steak?

Ribeye steaks is one of the most common cuts of steaks and also one of the best. We love them in my house! It is from the beef rib primal cut. The common names for ribeye is Delmonico Steak and Filet of Ribeye. When you are at the store those are the names you might see.

A ribeye is boneless and a rib steak is bone-in. This steak is rich, tender, juicy and full-flavored, with generous marbling throughout. They have just the right amount of fat. The best cooking methods for ribeye is grilling and sautéing.
