Grilled Ribeye Steak with Corn Salsa
What’s better than making the whole lunch or dinner outside, in the shade, with a beautiful summer breeze. Now that we have a kiddo, we need to plan everything, from lunch to playtime to work. So if we can combine playtime with making lunch simultaneously, that’s a win in our book right now. That’s so much easier outside, especially if the whole meal takes about 30 minutes. The ribeye steak and the corn are grilled in the outside grill to get that delicious, charred flavor. It’s so easy and so delicious, perfect for summer picnics and gatherings.

How to grill ribeye steak on the grill

I don't know a single person who isn't particular about how they like their meat. Some don't like well done; others truly dislike rare beef. Here are the temperatures to look for to help you achieve the best grilling times and achieve the ribeye steak's proper doneness. Having a thermometer is essential for this step.

GRILLED RIBEYE STEAK DONENESS

Rare - Stick the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. Grill the meat until the thermometer reads 52 °C / 125 °F.

Medium rare - Stick the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. Grill the meat until the thermometer reads 54 °C / 130 °F.

Medium - Stick the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. Grill the meat until the thermometer reads 60 °C / 140 °F.

Well done - Stick the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. Grill the meat until the thermometer reads 68 °C / 155 °F.

What to serve with Grilled Ribeye Steak

This juicy, tender piece of meat deserves a good side. We kept it simple in this recipe and served the steak with fresh, delicious grilled corn salsa with avocado. However, feel free to choose any of these sides instead of the salsa.

Storing Grilled Ribeye Steak and Grilled Corn Salsa

Ribeye Steak is best fresh and served immediately. This way, the meat stays juicy and melts in your mouth.

If you have any leftover grilled ribeye left, store it in an airtight container and place it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Before serving, reheat, or serve cold in a sandwich or salad.

Feel free to make the corn salsa ahead. Follow the recipe, but don't add the avocado right until serving. Keep the salsa in an airtight container and place it in the fridge for up to 2 days.

METHOD

  • prepare the grill

    Heat your gas grill or fire up the grill to get the grill temperature about 250 °C - 300 °C or 480 °F - 570 °F. When the grill is hot, clean the rack with a long brush and lightly grease with oil (the easiest way to do this is by dipping a paper towel into the oil). Take the meat out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before grilling.

    Tip
    Check the grill temperature by placing your hand about 10 cm or 4-inches above the rack. If you can't hold the hand up there for more than 2 seconds, then your grill is hot enough.
  • grill the corn

    Place the corn ears on a hot grill. Grill the corn for about 10 - 15 minutes, or until the corn is soft and beautifully charred, turning it from time to time. Remove the corn from the grill and slice corn off of the cob.

    Tip
    Always use a kitchen glove when grilling because the temperatures are very high. Transfer the corn with a kitchen glove or long metal kitchen thongs.
    If the corn isn't in season, use about 2 cups of canned sweet corn.
  • make the corn salsa

    In a bowl, stir to combine the grilled corn, diced red onion, diced jalapeño, diced red chili, avocado, diced coriander, olive oil, and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside and keep in the fridge until needed.

  • grill the steak

    Pat dry the ribeye steak with paper towels. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place the steak onto a hot grill. Grill for 3 - 4 minutes, then flip the steak and cook on the other side for another 3 - 4 minutes or until the steak is beautifully caramelized and the internal temperature reaches the desired doneness. For us, that's medium. Stick the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. The internal temperature of the thickest part of the meat should read 60 °C / 140 °F (for medium)

    Tip
    For other doneness times and internal steak, temperature see the blog post above.
    If you can't reach the desired internal temperature, but the outside is already beautifully caramelized, then transfer the steak to indirect heat on the grill. Continue grilling until the steak reaches the desired doneness. If your grill has a lid, cover the grill with the lid.
  • leave the steak to rest

    When the steak is done, use the kitchen thongs to transfer it to a plate. Drizzle with some olive oil and set aside for 5 - 10 minutes to rest. The cooking process will continue.

  • serve

    Cut the steak into slices and serve with the fresh corn salsa. Optionally sprinkle with fleur de salt. Add the lime wedges and crumble the feta cheese on top. Serve immediately.
