Perfectly Grilled Steak Recipe

 

 Grilling a steak to perfection is an art, and with the right technique and ingredients, you can impress family and friends with a mouthwatering meal. This recipe will guide you through creating a juicy, flavorful steak that’s perfect for any occasion.

 

Ingredients

2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons butter (optional, for basting)

Instructions

Prepare the Steaks: Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps them cook evenly.

Marinate: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the steaks, ensuring they are well-coated.

Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F). If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are hot and ashed over.

Grill the Steaks: Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them. This creates a nice sear.

Flip and Cook: Flip the steaks and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting the time if you prefer them more or less done. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.

Baste (Optional): In the last couple of minutes of cooking, add butter on top of the steaks and close the grill lid. This will enhance the flavor and juiciness.

Rest the Steaks: Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Serve: Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables and mashed potatoes. Pair with a glass of red wine for an elegant touch.

Tips for the Perfect Steak

Quality Matters: Choose high-quality steaks with good marbling for the best flavor and tenderness.

Don't Rush: Letting the steaks rest after grilling is crucial for juicy results.

Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add different herbs or spices to the marinade for variety.
