Grilled Steak Recipe (How to grill steak perfectly)

Prep Time 5

Cook Time 10

Total Time 15

▢ 2 thick cut steaks 1½ to 2 inches thick – (use Ribeye, T bone, NY strip, Sirloin steak)
▢ 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil I used olive oil

Turn on your grill and let it warm up to medium-high heat. You can use a gas or charcoal grill.
Brush some olive oil on both sides of the steaks.
Sprinkle salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary all over the steaks. I like to use my hands to press the seasonings into the oiled steaks slightly, too.
Add the steaks to the grill and reduce the heat to medium. For the best char marks, put them at an angle.
Check the temperature. For a medium rare steak, grill the steaks for about 4 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 130°F/55°C.
When the steaks are done, set them on a plate to rest with a pat of butter on each. Cover the plate loosely with foil and let the steaks rest while the butter melts.

Clean your grill. The first step to a beautifully grilled steak is clean grates! This makes it easier to flip your steaks cleanly and keeps that burnt flavor at bay. You can also oil the grates to make flipping even easier.
Bring steaks to room temperature. This may sound dangerous, but it helps the steaks cook faster in the center! When you’re prepping dinner, take out your steaks and let them sit on the counter for about half an hour.

Add more flavor. This is a super simple steak recipe that is perfectly juicy and flavorful every time. However, if you want more flavor, use a marinade or more garlic and herbs! I’ve also used compound butter for even more buttery flavor, too.

Grill the whole meal. I strive to keep the oven and stove off during the summer. Luckily, there’s tons of amazing sides you can make on the grill, too! Add some asparagus, zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers, corn on the cob, or even baked potatoes to the grates this summer.
Best Steak for Grilling. I choose a thick steak that’s 1.5 to 2 inches thick. This lets me get a great char on the outside and still have a beautiful pink inside.
When you’re picking the best steak to grill, look for ribeyes, strip steaks, filets, porterhouse, t-bone steaks, or top sirloin steaks. If you’re using a bone-in steak, be sure to check the temperature of both sides.
