Ribeye’s Never Tasted So Good!
Who does not like a good ribeye steak especially if it’s cooked on a George Foreman Grill? This steak is flavorful and is ideal for grilling. As you know, ribeye is marbled with fat that melts into the flesh when cooking, making it more tender and moist.
What is nice about the George Foreman Grill is the excess fat will drip off into the tray making it healthier.
This cut of beef is harvested from the upper back rib section of the animal, just behind the chuck that is closer to the shoulder. A ribeye steak, rib steak, and prime rib roast are essentially the same cut of beef. The ribeye is typically a boneless steak. A bone-in ribeye is the rib steak.
These steaks taste great when cooked to a medium rare but, they are still juicy when cooked to medium well.
Grades of Ribeye Steaks
When shopping for ribeye steaks to grill, look for cuts that are between ¾” and 1-1/2” thick and approximately 8 ounces. If the size of steak is too much for one person, just cut them in half to feed two people.
When choosing ribeye’s remember the grades of beef: Prime is superior because of its high marbling content and is the most expensive. Second comes Choice, this is the most common grade found in stores. This grade has a fair amount of marbling. The lowest grade is Select, which is leaner and has a low marbling content.
When grilling ribeye steak look for prime or choice cuts of meat. The select cut of beef does not grill well. They are best when used with moist-heat cooking.
When looking for a ribeye in the store look for a good amount of marbling as they will be soft and tasty after cooking.
Ribeye’s come with bones or are boneless. Each type will grill well on your George Forman. Remember, select the steak with the most marbling.

Directions:
- Remove steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling. Place the steaks on a large plate.
- Preheat the George Foreman grill on high with the lid closed. Place the drip tray in front of the grill.
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter and cheese using a fork until well blended. Set aside.
- Coat the ribeye’s on both sides with EVOO and season with salt and pepper.
- When the grill is ready, place the steaks on the grill and close the lid.
- Cook for 5 minutes and check the internal temperature with a digital meat thermometer. You are looking for 125°F for medium rare and up to 155°F for medium well. You can turn the steaks 45 degrees to get some hatched grill marks. Continue grilling until you have achieved the desired doneness. The steaks will continue to cook while resting, so take them off just shy of the desired temperature.
- Turn off the grill by pulling the plug or pressing the power button.
- Remove the steaks to a clean cutting board and top with 1/2 of the cheesy butter. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes. Slice the steaks and transfer to a clean plate. Add the rest of the blue cheese butter on top of the sliced steaks.
- Serve with favorite sides.
