Grilled Bone-In Rib Eye (Printable Version)

Enjoy a perfectly grilled bone-in rib eye steak, paired with buttery parsley potatoes and fresh, lightly charred asparagus.

# What You'll Need:

→ Steak

01 - 2 bone-in rib eye steaks (about 1.5 inches thick, 16 oz each)
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 2 teaspoons kosher salt
04 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
05 - 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
06 - 2 cloves garlic, smashed

→ Sides

07 - 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
09 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
10 - 1 lb asparagus, trimmed
11 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
12 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
13 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
14 - 1 lemon, cut into wedges

# How to Make It:

01 - Remove rib eye steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling. Pat dry and rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
02 - Preheat grill to high heat (about 450-500°F).
03 - Place steaks on the grill. Add rosemary sprigs and smashed garlic on top. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let steaks rest for 8 minutes, loosely tented with foil.
04 - Place halved potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain, toss with butter and chopped parsley.
05 - Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill alongside the steaks during the last 5 minutes, turning once until tender and lightly charred.
06 - Serve steaks with grilled asparagus, buttered parsley potatoes, and lemon wedges.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The bone keeps the meat incredibly juicy while it cooks, almost like self basting
  • Restaurant quality results in your own backyard without any fancy techniques
02 -
  • Skip the refrigerator rest and you'll end up with gray, overcooked outer meat before the center reaches temperature
  • Using an instant read thermometer takes the guesswork out, 130 degrees means perfect medium rare
03 -
  • Sprinkle a little flaky sea salt over the rested steaks right before serving for texture and pops of saltiness
  • Let the grill grate get properly hot before cooking, those sear marks are worth the extra few minutes
