2 (12-ounce) ribeye steaks, bone-in or boneless
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 cup red wine
1/4 cup beef broth

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This allows them to cook more evenly.
Season the steaks generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.

2. Fire Up the Grill:
Preheat your grill to high heat. If using a gas grill, aim for a temperature of 450-500°F (230-260°C). For a charcoal grill, a good hot coal bed is ideal.
3. Sear the Steak:
Place the steaks directly over the hottest part of the grill.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of doneness.
4. Create the Pan Sauce:
While the steak rests, melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the rosemary and thyme.
Deglaze the pan with the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer.
Let the sauce reduce until it thickens slightly.
