Tips
Achieving a perfect ribeye on an Arteflame grill comes down to heat control and timing. Let the cooking surface get properly hot to ensure a deep, even crust. A dry steak sears better, so always blot excess moisture before seasoning. Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking, especially when grilling thicker cuts. Allowing the steak to rest helps the juices redistribute, keeping each bite tender and flavorful.
- For deeper flavor, season 30 minutes ahead.
- Flip only when a crust forms.
- Use compound butter to elevate richness.
Variations
A ribeye is versatile, and the Arteflame’s open-fire design lets you experiment with different flavor styles. Try smoky, spicy, or herb-forward versions to match your preferences. These variations help bring new character to a classic cut without complicating the process.
- Smoked paprika and garlic rub
- Cajun blackened seasoning
- Rosemary and thyme herb crust
- Chimichurri topping
- Butter-basted with crushed garlic
Best pairings
The rich marbling of a ribeye pairs beautifully with bold and balanced sides. Choose accompaniments that complement its smoky depth without overshadowing the steak. From fresh salads to hearty potatoes, these pairings enhance the overall meal while keeping the steak centerstage.
- Grilled asparagus or broccolini
- Roasted or smashed potatoes
- Simple green salad with vinaigrette
- Grilled mushrooms
- Bold red wine like Cabernet or Malbec
