Can you believe Father’s Day is just around the corner? Anytime I try to figure out what my husband wants for Father’s Day, he pauses and ends up saying, “You know what I like.”  Yep, that gets very frustrating after a while.

One thing my husband absolutely loves is steak, so I thought that preparing my Garlic & Thyme Grilled Ribeye Steak with Creamy Jalapeño Butter would be the perfect gift.

His favorite cut is a nice, thick, juicy ribeye steak. I picked up two grass-fed ribeye steaks at Sprouts Farmers Market and I also picked up a few more items for another special Father’s Day gift. Since my hubby loves to grill, I decided to make a grilling gift basket.

When preparing my steaks, I like to keep my seasonings minimal to allow the natural flavors of the steak to come through. I only used thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. I placed my steaks on the grill and cooked them for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until the inside was slightly pink. We like our steaks cooked medium.

For the finishing touch, I made the most amazing jalapeño butter to put on top. It was super easy to make and was out of this world.

I can’t wait to serve these Garlic & Thyme Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Creamy Jalapeño Butter on Father’s Day and present him with his Father’s Day basket.
