Grilling the Perfect Steak
Grilling the Perfect Steak is easier than you might think. We are kicking off grilling season with our favorite steak recipe and tips for tender and juicy steaks.
If we are celebrating a special occasion or having a date night in, grilled steak with Twice Baked Potatoes and Mexican Street Corn or Grilled Corn in Foil is most likely going to be on the menu.
This tried and true method for grilling a tender and juicy steak is great for any cut of steak, ribeyes are our favorite, T-bones, filet mignon or sirloins are also great options.
Ingredients Needed
- Ribeye Steaks
- Olive Oil
- Kosher Salt
- Coarse Ground Pepper
For the Steak Butter
- Softened Butter
- Steak Seasoning ~ Homemade or your favorite brand.
- Dried Onion Flakes
- Ranch Dressing Mix (Just the powder, not prepared)
Step By Step Directions
Pat steaks dry with paper towels and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Set aside to come to room temperature about 30 minutes to an hour before grilling.
Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the steaks and season with salt and pepper.
Prepare a grill fire to 350° using hickory or oak for smoke flavor.
Mix the steak butter together in a bowl, combining all ingredients.
Place steaks on the grill and close the lid. Cook 5 minutes.
Flip the steaks and add about 1 teaspoon of steak butter.
As the butter starts to melt, brush to evenly coat. Close the lid and cook another 5-8 minutes. Use a digital meat thermometer to cook until it reaches desired doneness.
We cooked ours to about 128° for rare. See the chart below for steak cooking temperatures.
Remove steaks onto a serving platter, butter side down.
Spoon the remaining butter over the steaks and rest for about 5 minutes.
Upon resting, internal temperatures will rise another 5 degrees.
