Summer is in full swing and we all need a great Ribeye recipe in our back pocket. It's one of the easiest steaks to whip up at a moments notice, especially if it's not too thick! This is my go-to recipe for Grilled Ribeyes and I throw on a Calabrian Chile Butter to give it an extra oomph!! It pairs perfectly with a Caprese salad or my favorite summer watermelon salad!

How to Make Grilled Ribeyes with Calabrian Chili Compound Butter
Start by making the Calabrian chili compound butter by mixing together all the ingredients until smooth in a small bowl. Then get started on the grilled steaks. Season both sides of the ribeyes with plenty of salt and pepper. Heat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium high heat. Grill steaks to desired doneness, about 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove the steaks from the heat, and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice steak to serve, top with a spoonful of the Compound Butter and scatter with cherry tomatoes and basil, and serve.

FAQs
How spicy is Calabrian chili paste?
It's got a bit of heat!! So you can tone it down if you prefer! And a great substitute would be chipotles in adobo if you're wanting something a little more smoky!
