    1. Erin Hopson it IS so easy. Just start with a good cut of meat and follow the steps. So so simple. Let it sit for 30 min out of the fridge. Salt and pepper liberally. Dunk in clarifies butter (ghee), throw it on a hot grill. 4-5 min per side or cook to temp. Couldn’t be easier.

  1. Wow it’s 4am and now I wanna uncover my bbq and cook some steak and have a beer …great job thank you

    1. Thanks for reminding me I just grabbed a beer! Can’t be grilling with out one 👍

  2. That butter bath was straight GOALS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Can’t wait to pick up our new Genesis II 😌🥩

    1. I bought one from these guys last week. Everything went smoothly and the grill is awesome!

  3. thank you so much for this video!! been a weber gas grill owner for years and this video is easily one of my favs

  4. My dad and I are new to grilling and our steaks turned out great! Thanks for the video!

    1. Wait, so you don’t have to close the lid? Why does other people say to close the lid. Also which position do you leave each burner on?

  5. I dont eat steak, but this was just beautiful! Im set to grill for the boyfriends birthday this weekend and I want to make sure I do this right. Great video with clear instructions. I think I can actually do this now. Much gratitude

  6. Definitely my favorite video on how to make the Rib Eye on a gas grill. Time to try your tips. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊 😋😋

  7. What a great, well done video ! Just bought a Weber Genesis… watched this video before firing it up. Who in the world knew to dunk the steak in butter. WOW ! What a perfect result ! Thanks BBQGuys !! Superb !

  8. I’ve watched about 10 videos, searching for the perfect tomahawk video. I’m so glad I finally found this one because it was perfect!

  9. This is definitely the best Steak I have ever made, thanks to your video. I even have the same grill. I cooked a New York strip, about the same thickness. It was bit too chewy though. Do you have any suggestions to make it “less” chewy?

    1. Did you slice thinly across the grain? Glad the steak turned out well! Different stores can have a range of meat quality , I would try a different supplier next time and see if that remedies it.

    2. @BBQGuys thank you for the response. I will say that I did buy this cut from one of our local grocery stores just so I can test things out. There is a a butcher I go to for other meats. I will get something from there. Thank you!

  10. Grate (grill humor) job Randy, simple and to the point, looks delicious. I just ordered my Weber Grill, can’t wait to cook my first steak on it. I like the butter idea also, I am sure you get a better crust this way. I usually put the butter on when the steak is finished.

  11. Great video. I just bought the same grill and made the very first ribeye boneless steak for my wife-she likes it medium-rare and I blew it. She said it was medium to medium well. Got a long way to learn to grill steaks. That’s my weakness. I felt like throwing that grill in the middle of the street after she didn’t eat it. Maybe I should have thrown her instead

    1. You can plan for about 5 degrees carryover when it rests. So pull it earlier next time, and I think you will make it on point! Nothing wrong with a medium steak, more for you I guess 🙂

  12. I nailed a couple steaks with this video. I grew up very poor in apartments and wasn’t allowed to have bbqs. I just bought a house 3 months ago and my first bbq along with it. Thanks for the video.

    1. I know exactly how that feels. Congrats on the house!! Currently working on saving up to get my own🤙

  13. This is a great quick clear tutorial. I just made to ribeye steaks perfectly with your instructions!!! First time ever for me. Thank you!!

  14. I’ve watched this video a few times. Just love how easy it looks. Can’t wait to try this out!

  15. I’ve just tried this approach.
    And I have an amazingly delicious steak!!!!
    Thank you for sharing.

  16. I had a Weber 25 years ago and I always cooked perfect steaks. After buying the Spirit II, I couldn’t remember or find instructions as to how I used to cook my steaks on the old Weber. This video reminded me of what I did. Sear on both sides and then finish on low with lid closed. THANK YOU!

  17. I always liked the ribeyes too. I’m going to try this out. Never thought of the butter dip, sounds great! You didn’t mention how hot you got it ahead of time, Thanks!
