Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for grilled steak:
### Ingredients:
– 2 ribeye steaks (about 1-inch thick)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
– 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
– Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
### Instructions:
1. **Preparation**:
– Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
2. **Marinate**:
– In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme.
– Rub the mixture all over the steaks. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
– Let the steaks marinate for at least 15 minutes. If you have more time, you can marinate them for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
3. **Preheat the Grill**:
– Preheat your grill to high heat (450-500°F or 230-260°C).
4. **Grill the Steaks**:
– Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, 5-6 minutes for medium, or until your desired doneness is achieved. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium.
– Avoid flipping the steaks too often to ensure a nice crust forms.
5. **Rest the Steaks**:
– Once the steaks are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the steak more tender and flavorful.
6. **Serve**:
– Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or baked potatoes.
### Tips:
– **For extra flavor**, you can add a pat of herb butter on top of each steak as they rest.
– **For a smokier taste**, consider adding wood chips to your grill.
– **If using a gas grill**, keep one burner on low heat as a safety zone to move the steaks if they start to flare up.
Enjoy your delicious grilled steak!
