Outstanding

Turn the steaks only once as you cook them. The more time they are in direct contact with the grill, the better. Serve with corn and Smoked Tomatoes.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 steak)

Ingredients

  • 4  (8-ounce) ribeye steaks, trimmed (about 3/4 inch thick)
  • 1  teaspoon  salt
  • 3/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • Cooking spray

Preparation

Sprinkle both sides of steaks with salt and pepper. Let steaks stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Prepare grill.

Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel. Place steaks on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 2 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove from grill. Cover steaks loosely with foil; let stand 5 minutes.

i love a good steak and ribeye is one of my favorite cuts. When grilling or pan searing I spread butter and parsley over the steak. Not the healthiest way to eat it but so worth it (I just eat salads for the next two days!) 04/07/08
