Ingredients

2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick, approximately 1 lb total)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional, for marinade)
Lemon wedges (for serving, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat them dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season generously with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary.
Step 2: Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450°F to 500°F. For charcoal grills, ensure the coals are hot and covered with a light layer of ash.
Step 3: Place the steaks on the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them for medium-rare. Flip and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Step 4: Use a meat thermometer to check doneness: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, 150°F for medium-well, and 160°F for well done.
Step 5: Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 6: Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with lemon wedges if desired. Enjoy with your favorite sides.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, marinate the steaks in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and rosemary for up to 2 hours before grilling.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness every time.
Try adding a pat of herb butter on top of the steak right after grilling for a rich finish.
If you don’t have a grill, you can use a heavy skillet or grill pan over high heat.

Storage

Store any leftover grilled steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the oven to avoid drying out the meat. For best results, avoid using a microwave.

How do I know when my steak is done?

Can I use other cuts of steak for this recipe?

Yes, you can use other cuts like striploin, T-bone, or filet mignon. Adjust the grilling time based on the thickness and tenderness of the cut, but the seasoning and grilling method remain the same.
