Nothing beats a little salt, pepper, and smoky charcoal flavor when cooking a marbled ribeye steak.
Prep the steak
Pat the rib steak dry and let it air dry for a few minutes.
Build the fire
Place charcoal in a grill and heat until it turns white hot. Season the steak liberally with salt and pepper.
Sear and finish
Sear directly on the hot coals for 30-45 seconds on each side, or until deeply caramelized and slightly charred. Transfer the steak to a cooler part of the grill and finish cooking until it reaches medium-rare, turning frequently to ensure gentle, even cooking.
Rest and serve
Let the meat rest for 3-4 minutes, then sprinkle with salt before slicing.
