Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick, approximately 1 lb total)
Seasoning and Marinade
- 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)
To Serve
- Lemon wedges (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Remove steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat them dry with paper towels, then rub both sides with olive oil. Season generously with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary. Optionally, marinate with balsamic vinegar for added flavor.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to high heat, around 450°F to 500°F. For charcoal grills, ensure the coals are hot and ashed over before cooking.
- Grill the Steaks: Place the steaks on the grill and cook without moving for 4-5 minutes on one side for medium-rare. Flip and grill for another 3-4 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for desired doneness: Rare (125°F), Medium Rare (135°F), Medium (145°F), Medium Well (150°F), Well Done (160°F).
- Rest the Steak: Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, resulting in a tender and juicy steak.
- Serve: Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with lemon wedges on the side if desired. Enjoy your perfectly grilled steak with your favorite sides!
Notes
- Bringing steaks to room temperature ensures even cooking.
- Patting steaks dry before seasoning helps achieve a better sear.
- Using a meat thermometer is the best way to ensure your preferred doneness.
- Letting the steak rest after grilling keeps it juicy and tender.
- Lemon wedges add a fresh, tangy flavor that complements the rich steak.
