A ribeye steak is a real treat for meat lovers. With this simple recipe, you can prepare a juicy ribeye steak on the barbecue and enjoy the full flavor of the meat. The right preparation technique and a few tips for optimizing your grill will ensure that your steak is perfectly cooked and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients:

• 2 thick ribeye steaks (approx. 500 g per steak)
• Helvetic Barbeque Goldfinger Rub
• Olive oil

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

• Take the ribeye steaks out of the fridge about 30 minutes before grilling to bring them to room temperature. This will allow them to cook more evenly.
• Preheat your grill to a high heat, ideally around 230-260 °C. Make sure you have a direct and an indirect grilling zone.

1. Seasoning:

• Rub the ribeye steaks generously on both sides with Helvetic Barbeque Goldfinger Rub.

1. Barbecue:

• Brush the steaks lightly with olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking and to promote a nice crust.
• First place the steaks on the hot direct grill zone and grill them for about 2-3 minutes per side to create a nice grill mark.
• Then move the steaks to the indirect grilling zone and close the grill lid. Continue grilling until they have reached the desired doneness:
  • For medium rare: approx. 3-4 minutes per side
  • For medium: approx. 4-5 minutes per side
  • For medium well: approx. 5-6 minutes per side
• Note that the exact time may vary depending on the thickness of the steak and the desired cooking level. Use a meat thermometer to check the core temperature: approx. 55 °C for medium rare, 60 °C for medium and 65 °C for medium well.

1. Leave to rest:

• Remove the grilled steaks from the grill and place them on a plate. Leave them to rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to disperse in the meat and makes the steak even more tender.
• Serve the ribeye steak with side dishes of your choice, we prefer a little of our Helvetic Barbeque O.D.B Sauce to intensify the flavor of the meat.

Good luck!
