If you are a lover of meat these Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Gorgonzola Herb Butter will definitely jump to the top of your list of favorite things with a quickness.
With melting Gorgonzola, butter, roasted garlic, and fresh herbs I always say it’s sometimes the simple ingredients that make the most memorable and fancy feeling meals. It just takes your taste buds to the happiest of places.
Give me a special occasion. Fathers Day, a birthday, or any random Tuesday. I don’t care, I’ll take these Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Gorgonzola Herb Butter for dinner over just about anything, any day. It is the must succulent, juicy, tender, flavorful, fancy thing of beauty.
Don’t get me wrong, ribeye steaks are delicious on their own. But when you look at menus for some upscale restaurants, they tend to charge a small fortune, and you will see that they add a little something to make it a bit more special.
Well my frugal brain says we can make our own experience at home. It can be just as special as dropping those big big bucks. You will just need to plan ahead. Get all your ingredients together, make sure it is not going to rain. And definitely have some wine chilled and plan your evening.
Speaking of wine. When it comes to pairing one with grilled steak we love a good assertive red wine. A favorite in our house is “Egri Bikaver Bulls Blood”, which is a very dry red blend from Hungary. Other wines that would pair very well would be a Bordeaux, Cabernet, or even some Malbecs. The main thing is to pick a wine that YOU love.
What is Gorgonzola:
Gorgonzola is a veined blue cheese, originally from Italy, made from unskimmed cow’s milk. It can be buttery or firm. We chose the soft and crumbly kind for this recipe. You’ll probably have some leftover you can toss it in salads, or add to a pizza or risotto.
If you’re looking for a replacement for gorgonzola cheese with a pretty similar flavor, your best choices are Roquefort, Bleu d’Auvergne, Stilton cheese, Danish blue, and Fourme d’Ambert.

Some tips:
- Oil the grate on your grill before lighting and let the smoke burn off before using. Do NOT oil grates over any heat source that is already burning, as this is VERY dangerous and WILL flare up and most likely burn you!
- After lighting your charcoal, let the fire burn down some. White ash will form on the charcoal after about 15-20 minutes. This is when you want to knock the fire down.
- If using a gas grill prepare for high, direct heat.
- Some good tips to follow if your new to grilling can be found on this page: How to grill steak.
- If you want the fancy grill marks that you get on your steaks from a restaurant here is a quick tip: Half-way through cooking each side (2-3 minutes), rotate (not flipping) the steak 45 degrees. For example, if the “point” end of the steak is at the 12 o’clock position when looking down at it, rotate the steak so the point is at about 2 o’clock. Flip the steak and repeat the process with the other side.
