How to Barbecue Ribeye Steaks

There's nothing like a rib eye done on the grill.

Rib eye steaks have more fat then chuck or round steak; and because of that, they tend to be more tender. Although a one-inch rib eye steak has almost 700 calories largely because its fat content, diners tend to gravitate to them when they grill out-of-doors because they taste so good. Little needs to be done to them except to cook them in the way that pleases your guests the most.

Things You'll Need

• Rib eye steaks, one inch thick
• Salt
• Pepper

Instructions

1. Start your barbecue grill. If your grill requires you to use charcoal, put it only on one half of the grill, add starter fuel and use a flame to set the coals on fire, uncovered. There are other grills that have permanent charcoals and have a heat source. Set only one or two dials to high heat and close the lid. It will take each grill about ten or 15 minutes to reach the proper temperature.

2. Salt and pepper your rib eye steaks, to taste. Sprinkle salt and pepper on one side, then pat them into the steaks. Turn them over and do the same thing, again.

3. Sear your rib eye steaks. Put the rib eye steaks on the grill about four inches above the coals and cook them for one or two minutes on each side. Then, insert a meat thermometer into a steak, but make sure that it doesn't touch a bone. Move the steaks to the area where there's no charcoal and put the lid on the grill.

4. Cook your steaks about four minutes on each side if you want them rare. Cook them longer if you want them more well done. Rare steaks attain a temperature of about 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Steaks that are cooked medium should reach about 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

5. Take your steaks off of the grill and let them rest about ten minutes before serving them. To retain heat, simply tent your steaks with aluminum foil while they rest.
