Grilled Peppered Ribeyes
Grilled Peppered Ribeyes are Better Than Any Restaurant
I don’t know about you, but I will take a home-cooked steak over a steakhouse steak any day of the week. The steaks we grill at home are always 1000 times better than what we get in any restaurant. I like my steaks seasoned with more than just salt and pepper. I also love the flavor that a charcoal grill gives the steaks. You just can’t replicate that in a restaurant.
These Peppered Ribeye steaks are seriously delicious! We made this over the weekend and LOVED them. They are very simple to make and taste incredible. We grilled two ribeyes and ate the leftovers for lunch. YUM!

How To Cook Ribeye Steaks on a Charcoal Grill
About 20 minutes before grilling, remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature. Prepare the charcoal grill. Once the grill is ready, add the steaks and cook until they reach the desired temperature.
We use a charcoal chimney starter instead of lighter fluid. If you have never used a charcoal chimney starter, it will change the way you grill. Lighter fluid is the worst! It overwhelms the food with a chemical taste. The charcoal starter uses NO lighter fluid. It uses newspaper to light the coals. No funky taste is added to the food. Here is a great post, with video, on how to use a charcoal starter: https://www.plainchicken.com/2014/05/grilling-101-how-to-use-charcoal-starter.html
