    How to season rib eye steak: pat down the seasoning
  • Preheat outdoor grill to high heat, about 450 to 500 degrees. Sear steaks for 3 minutes per side with the lid open. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking with the lid closed until the steaks reach the desired level of doneness (130 degrees F for medium-rare).

Notes

  • Let the steaks come to room temperature first. This takes about 30 minutes and ensures they will cook evenly.
  • Really pat down your rib eye steak rub! Patting down the seasoning gives the meat a perfect crust on the grill.
  • Allow the steaks to rest before cutting into them - at least 10 minutes.
  • Always slice steak against the grain.
  • Use a meat thermometer for best results when checking for your desired degree of doneness.
