Hey there! I'm Andrew Stovall, a Sales Development Representative at Funeral Directors Life. I'm excited to share this cook with the BBQ community because it proves you don't need a complicated recipe to make something incredible. This one is simple, reliable, and delivers big flavor every single time. If you've got a flat-top griddle and a few hours for a marinade, you're about to make the best ribeye of your life (in my humble opinion).

The perfect sear
When it comes to steak, I'm all about keeping it simple and letting the quality of the meat shine. That's why I cook my ribeyes on a Blackstone flat griddle. It gives you an even, restaurant-quality crust that's hard to beat.
And my secret? A 3-hour olive oil marinade that keeps the ribeye incredibly juicy.
Oh, and I can’t forget to mention a generous dash of Passare seasoning in the final minutes on the griddle. It adds bold, balanced flavor without overpowering the beef. Trust me, once you try this combo, you’ll add this recipe to your cooking rotation.
Ingredients and supplies
- 1" ribeye, 12 oz steak
- Olive oil (for marinating and the griddle)
- Passare seasoning
- Blackstone flat griddle (or flat-top grill)
- Flat grill spatula or tongs
Cooking Instructions
Prep the steak:
Coat your ribeye generously in olive oil and seasoning and let it marinate for 3 hours. This is the key to keeping the meat juicy and flavorful, so don't skip!
Fire it up:
Preheat your Blackstone flat griddle and lightly coat the surface with olive oil.
Place the steak on the hot griddle and cook evenly, flipping as needed to develop a crust on both sides.
During the final minutes on the griddle, apply Passare seasoning generously on both sides.
Cook to your desired doneness, remove from heat, and let it rest briefly before serving.
Enjoy!
Sides that seal the deal
A great steak deserves great sides. Here's what I like to pair with this cook:
- Grilled or roasted vegetables - asparagus, zucchini, or peppers
- Garlic mashed potatoes or crispy smashed potatoes
What I love about funeral service
While I’m not a funeral director, working at Funeral Directors Life has shown me many ways the profession makes a large impact on others.
Through funeral service, we are able to:
- Give people hope in their darkest times.
- Help us to come together as friends and family and hold one another in our grief.
- Show the love of Jesus through care and fellowship.
I’m happy to work in a profession that does so much for others during some of their hardest times.
