Take the ribeye steak out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Season both sides generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you have a smoker attachment, get it ready for some smoky goodness.
If using a smoker, add your favorite wood chips or chunks to infuse a smoky flavor into the steak. Place the steak on the grill.
Grill the ribeye for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your desired level of doneness.
In the last minute of grilling, sprinkle chopped fresh rosemary and thyme over the steak for aromatic flavors.
While the steak is grilling, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter.

Once the butter is melted, add smashed garlic cloves to infuse the butter with garlic flavor.
Use a spoon to baste the steak with the garlic-infused butter. Spoon the butter over the steak continuously for added richness and flavor.
Once the steak reaches your preferred doneness, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
Slice the ribeye against the grain into thick slices. Arrange the slices on a serving platter.
pour any remaining garlic butter over the steak slices.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
