For a delectable grilled steak, consider this straightforward recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless ribeye or sirloin steaks (approximately 1 inch thick)
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (optional)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before grilling to allow them to come to room temperature. This ensures more even cooking.
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary (if using), paprika, onion powder, and dried thyme to create a flavorful marinade.
- Brush the steaks with the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated on both sides.
- Place the steaks on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your desired level of doneness.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 135°F (57°C); for medium, aim for 145°F (63°C).
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the grilled steaks against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly grilled steak!
