The Perfect Grilled Ribeye

Being a butcher, I’ve grilled thousands of steaks in my lifetime. My favorite cut is a ribeye. It is extremely tender and has a ton of flavor from the marbling in the meat. What most people don’t realize is that grilling a steak is about as easy as it gets to achieve restaurant quality. The most common mistake people make is constantly flipping the steak on a grill. Don’t flip it multiple times. It only needs to be flipped once, and that’s it. Let that steak sear to seal in the juices. Then let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing into it to let them juices redistribute into the steak.
