- 2 ribeye cap steaks about 4-6 ounces each
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1/2 tablespoon cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter or compound butter
On a charcoal grill:
Follow steps 1 & 2, then:
Prepare your charcoal grill for 2 zones (one side super hot with ashed-over coals on one side of the grill).
Sear the steaks over the hot coals for about 3 minutes then turn them 90-degrees and sear them for another 2 minutes (to get great grill marks).
Flip the steaks and move them to the cooler side of the grill, and cover the grill.
Remove the steaks and rest them, covered with foil, for about 10 minutes.
Top them with compound butter (or plain butter) before serving.
On a gas grill:
Follow steps 1 & 2 then:
Preheat the gas grill firing up 2 burners (or more if you're doing more than 4 steaks).
When the grill is hot, add the steaks to the grill. Sear the steaks over the flame for about 3 minutes, then turn them 90 degrees and sear them for another 2 minutes (to get great grill marks). If you get flareups, move the steaks out of the fire until it dies down.
Flip the steaks and turn the heat down to low. Cover the grill and cook the steaks until they reach 125-F with a digital meat thermometer. Remove the steaks and rest them, covered with foil, for about 10 minutes.
Top them with compound butter (or plain butter) before serving.
Chef Jenn's Tips
- There is visible fat on these steaks, so watch for flare-ups. Move the steaks out of the direct flame to prevent burning.
- Resting the steaks is hugely important. They'll be so much tastier and juicier if you let them rest for about 10 minutes.
- Don't be afraid to season steaks aggressively - they can take it!
