Double Garlic Bone-In Ribeye Recipe Using the PK Grill

Are you garlic’s biggest fan? If so, you’ll want to bookmark this recipe for Double Garlic Bone-in Ribeye. This juicy steak uses not just one but two of my amazing garlic-based rubs. There’s nothing better than a bone-in ribeye unless it has a kick of heat on the back end like this one. 

This fancy meal comes together in less time than it takes to have a pizza delivered. You won’t believe how perfect these steaks look, especially if you add a few grill marks. Finish off with a couple of pats of butter, and you’ve got a juicy steak that will knock the socks off anyone. 

Double Garlic Bone-In Ribeye Recipe Using the PK Grill

Ribeye is versatile, making it a staple in many kitchens. Cook it for a special date night or to treat a buddy on game day. Though many stick to one tried-and-true recipe, I prefer mixing it up. Variety is the spice of life, after all! 

The Ingredients

Dinner in less than five ingredients; what could be better? You’ll definitely have leftover rub, so save the rest for another mouth-watering recipe. Here’s what you need to add to your shopping list. 

  • Bone-in ribeye steaks. Bone-in steaks are a wonderful treat that many pitmasters are partial to. It’s rumored that the flavor in the bone transfers to the meat during the cooking process, giving you a tender, rich steak. I have to agree! You can find this cut of meat at any well-stocked grocery store. 
  • Olive oil. If you’ve been following my recipes for a while, you know that I’m usually a mustard man when it comes to binders. Steak usually needs something milder, so I used olive oil. This helped the seasonings stick without altering the flavor of the steak. 
  • Heath Riles BBQ Garlic Jalapeño Rub. This rub is one of my favorite all-purpose seasonings. It features a mix of garlic, pepper, and a hint of jalapeno. Even though it contains jalapenos, it’s mild enough that even children love it. 
  • Heath Riles BBQ Garlic Butter Rub. If you love the mysterious deep flavor of roasted garlic, you’ll adore this ingredient. It spices up chicken, veggies, pork, beef, and steak. I even sprinkle it on popcorn for a fun twist!
  • Salted butter. I love letting a pat of butter soak into finished steaks. It adds a bit of silky flavor, making the steak feel luxurious. Salted butter is best for this, but you can always use unsalted butter and a pinch of salt. 

    • The Smoker Setup

    Here’s a list of the main equipment I used to make my Double Garlic Bone-In Ribeye Recipe. You can find more of my pitmaster must-haves in the equipment and tools section. 

  • Grill/Smoker. I used the PK Grill for this cook. This is a great smoker that does excellent for grilling recipes as well. I’m a fan of the adjustable airflow, which can make or break your food. The grill is cast aluminum, which is ultra-durable and holds its heat. 
  • Charcoal. I stoked the PK with Royal Oak Charcoal and Tumbleweeds. This is a beautiful combination that burns hot and fast. I love Royal Oak because their products don’t have any fillers. 

    • The Process for Making Double Garlic Bone-In Ribeye

    You can find an in-depth demonstration of this recipe in the recipe card and video. For now, here’s a quick rundown of how I pulled these amazing ribeyes together. 

  • Fire up the grill. I stoked the PK Grill with charcoal and tumbleweeds. Then, I fired it up to 500℉, creating a two-zone fire. 
  • Add binder and seasoning. I removed the steaks from their packaging and drizzled them with olive oil. After I made sure it was coated evenly, I added a layer of Garlic Jalapeño Rub, followed by a sprinkle of Garlic Butter Rub. I flipped the steaks and repeated the process on the other side. I let the steak sweat in for 10-15 minutes before putting them on the grill. 
  • Sear and flip. I sprayed the grill’s grates with oil, then laid the steaks straight on top. I let the steak sear for 1 minute and 30 seconds before spinning. After another 1 minute, I flipped the steak and repeated the process on the other half. 
  • Move to the cool zone. Once the steaks had beautiful grill marks, I moved them to the cool zone and let them cook until they reached 120℉. My steak was medium-rare, so feel free to adjust the cooking time based on what you like.
  • Rest and serve. I removed the steaks from the grill, topped them with a pat of butter, and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving.
