Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks (about 1-inch thick, around 12 oz or 340 g each)
  • ½ cup bourbon (120 ml)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (50 g)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (30 ml)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (60 g)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Kosher or sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, lemon juice (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until evenly incorporated. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge.
  2. Make the Bourbon Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, and 1 clove minced garlic. Stir occasionally and simmer until thickened to a syrupy consistency, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Prep the Steaks: Pat ribeyes dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly cracked pepper. Let sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat the Grill: Heat grill to medium-high (about 450°F / 230°C). For charcoal, let coals burn down to glowing embers.
  5. Grill the Ribeye Steaks: Place steaks over heat and grill 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare (130-135°F / 54-57°C). During the last 2 minutes, brush bourbon glaze generously on both sides. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  6. Rest the Steaks: Remove from grill and let rest loosely covered with foil for 5 minutes.
  7. Top with Garlic Herb Butter: Slice a tablespoon or two of the chilled garlic herb butter and place on top of each warm steak to melt.
  8. Serve: Slice against the grain and serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

Use an instant-read thermometer to avoid overcooking. Apply glaze in thin layers near the end of grilling to prevent burning. Rest steaks after grilling to keep them juicy. A small cast-iron skillet can be used to melt garlic herb butter over steaks before serving. For dairy-free, use a butter alternative and coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
