Blackened Ribeye

Come learn the best way to make a ribeye steak with a blackened seasoning rub. Plus, find out our secret to making the best steak!

Welcome to our first episode of DINNER WITH DREW. If you are new here, Drew is my husband and he loves cooking all things "manly". From him, you will get tons of steak and fish recipes, ways to cook things on the Blackstone and the smoker, plus, tons of other idea. Basically, everything I make him do because I do not want to!

Our first episode of Dinner With Drew is his all-time favorite recipe: blackened ribeye on the Blackstone. So, come learn the best way to make a ribeye steak with a blackened seasoning rub.

Blackstone Grill

Drew recommends a Blackstone, he absolutely loves his. He recommends you either get a 3 or 4 burner version as the 2-burner is a bit too small. We have the 3-burner version and it is perfect for us.

What You Need to make the Best Blackened Ribeye

To make the best steak, you are going to need a couple ingredients, which you may or may not already have.

• Ribeye
• Salt and Pepper
• Truffle Oil
• Blackened Seasonings
• Freezer
• Corn Oil
• Blackstone Grill

We will be making a ribeye for this recipe; however, Drew's tips and tricks will work for various different cuts of steaks.

Drew says one of the secrets to his 'best steak ever' is truffle oil! It gives it such a great taste without overpowering the entire steak. The brand we use is Truff. However, I do not always want mushroom on mine and regular oil works fine as well.

You can make your own blackened seasonings; however, you can also buy a mix. We just buy the Blackstone version of a blackened seasonings mix.

Trust me on this one, and I will explain later, you are going to need a freezer. It is the key to the best blackened ribeye!

Finally, to cook the steak, heat up your Blackstone and grab some corn oil. We prefer our Blackstone griddle; however, you can use a cast iron skillet indoors or another type of grill. Corn oil has a smoke point of 450 degrees, and is often used for frying. This is why we typically use that on the Blackstone; however, you can use another high heat oil if you prefer.

How to Make the Best Steak

The first step is grabbing a good cut of steak from a reputable seller. We really love Butcher Box and there are local meat markets here in Orlando that we often shop at for steak.

Score the ribeye against the grain, to know how to cut it after it cooks.

Season all sides of the steak with salt and pepper and press it into the steak. This can be to your liking; however, I typically do about ¼ teaspoon of salt and ⅛ teaspoon of black pepper. If you are using a pre-made blackened seasonings mix, be mindful of the salt as it may already have plenty of salt. However, you do want to add a little salt at this step.

Then, pour on a tablespoon of truffle oil and rub that along all sides of the steak. Sprinkle on the blackened seasonings and press that into all sides of the ribeye.

Place the steak on a plate and into the freezer for 30 minutes. This is Drew's secret to the best steak; however, you can skip this is you are running low on time.

When the time is running out, get your grill preheated and greased with some corn oil.

Grill your steak for about 5 minutes per side, if it came from the freezer. However, if you did not freeze the ribeye, cook about 3 minutes per side. You can adjust this depending on how you like your steak cooked.

Let the steak rest for 10 minutes then cut against the grain, where you scored the ribeye earlier.

What To Serve with Blackened Ribeye

Drew says there is nothing else to serve with steak than some potatoes! He calls this his Irish meal and he absolutely loves it!

Try this out with my air fryer baby potatoes, crispy smash potatoes, spicy truffle roasted potatoes or, my favorite, roasted red potatoes.
