How to Grill Steak
Description
How to Grill Steak provides clear instructions on preparing and cooking rib eye or other preferred cuts over a hot grill. Steaks are taken out of the refrigerator 15-30 minutes early to warm slightly, ensuring more even cooking. Seasoning is applied about 10-15 minutes before grilling, and the grill should be preheated to around 450-500°F.
The steaks are grilled with the lid closed, cooking about 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare, with doneness checked by touch or internal temperature. Allowing the steak to rest for 5-10 minutes after grilling helps redistribute juices, maintaining tenderness. The method helps achieve a steak with a slightly firm edge and tender center.
This grilled steak can be served as a main course alongside vegetables or a salad. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. For best results, remove steak from heat a few degrees before desired doneness, as the internal temperature will rise slightly while resting.
Ingredients
- 2 rib eye steak thin-cut (or use your preferred steak
- steak seasoning , to taste
- salt if needed
- black pepper if needed
Instructions
- Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 15-30 minutes before grilling to allow them to come to room temperature. Season steaks about 10-15 minutes before grilling and preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 450-500 degrees F.)
- Place steaks on hot, well oiled grill. Cover with grill lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, (or more, depending on the thickness of the steak). Flip steaks, cover with lid, and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until firm around the edges and slightly tender in the center. Use a thermometer to reach your desired doneness (for example, a few degrees shy of 130 degrees F for medium rare). Don't overcook!
- Transfer to a plate or cutting board, cover, and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving.
- Store leftover steak in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Remove steaks from heat a few degrees before target temperature to allow carryover cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate doneness levels from rare to well done.
- Rest cooked steaks for 5-10 minutes covered before slicing to retain juices.
- Store leftover steak in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
