The Blackstone Ribeye Steak Recipe is the ultimate way to cook one of the most flavorful cuts of beef. Ribeye steaks are known for their rich marbling, which melts during cooking to create a juicy, tender, and incredibly flavorful bite. Cooking them on a Blackstone griddle takes things to the next level by delivering a perfectly seared crust while locking in all those delicious juices.

Unlike traditional grills, the flat-top griddle provides even heat distribution, allowing you to control every aspect of the cooking process. Whether you’re preparing a quick dinner or an impressive meal for guests, this method guarantees steakhouse-quality results at home.

Scale
1x2x3x

• 4 Ribeye Steaks
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 2 Tbsp Oil
• 2 Tbsp Butter

Instructions

1. Preheat the Blackstone griddle over high heat (approximately 500 degrees F). You want the griddle to be hot to get a good sear on the steaks.
2. Make sure that the steaks are dry and are at room temperature. Combine the garlic powder, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Then season the steaks with the seasoning mixture (approximately ½ teaspoon per steak).
3. Spread the oil out onto the Blackstone grill.
4. Once the oil is hot, place the steaks on the Blackstone grill on top of the oil. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes and do not move them to get a good sear on the steaks.
5. Then use tongs to gently lift and flip the steak. If the steaks are still sticking to the grill, this means that they need more time and they are not ready to flip yet.
6. Flip the steaks onto a separate section of the grill. Then cook the steaks for 2-3 more minutes to sear the opposite side of the steaks.
7. Then reduce the temperature on the Blackstone grill to medium heat. Cook the steak until they are done to your preference. Use an instant read meat thermometer to check the steak temperature. The recipe notes has the internal temperature for each steak preference.
8. Then top each steak with approximately ½ Tbsp of butter and let the butter melt into the steak.
9. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes and then it’s ready to serve warm and then enjoy!
