  • Juicy, tender, and flavorful steak
  • Simple ingredients and easy technique
  • Perfect charred exterior
  • Quick to prepare for weeknights or BBQs
  • Works with any favorite steak cut

Ingredients

  • 2 steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or New York strip, 1–1.5 inches thick)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: fresh rosemary or thyme

Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare the Steak

Pat steaks dry with paper towels.

Rub both sides with olive oil, garlic (if using), salt, and black pepper.

Let steaks sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes before grilling for even cooking.

Step 2 – Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to high heat (450–500°F / 230–260°C).

Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 3 – Grill the Steak

Place steaks on the hot grill.

Grill for:

  • 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust time based on thickness and desired doneness).

Optional: Add fresh rosemary or thyme on top while grilling for extra aroma.

Step 4 – Rest the Steak

Remove steaks from the grill and let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

This allows juices to redistribute for a juicy steak.

Step 5 – Serve

Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides: grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Tips for Perfect Grilled Steak

  • Always let the steak come to room temperature before grilling.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check doneness:
    • Rare: 125°F / 52°C
    • Medium-rare: 135°F / 57°C
    • Medium: 145°F / 63°C
    • Well done: 160°F / 71°C
  • Avoid flipping too often; 1–2 flips maximum.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
