Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove steaks from refrigerator 30-45 minutes before cooking to allow them to reach room temperature, which ensures even cooking.
- Pat steaks dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a perfect sear.
- Brush both sides of the steaks with olive oil, creating a light coating that will help seasonings adhere and promote even browning.
- Combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl, then generously season both sides of the steaks, pressing the spices into the meat.
- Preheat grill to high heat (450-500°F), ensuring grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Place steaks on the hottest part of the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving, allowing beautiful grill marks to form.
- Flip steaks using tongs and cook an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust time based on desired doneness.
- Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium.
- Remove steaks from grill and let rest on a cutting board for 5-7 minutes, allowing juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Slice against the grain and serve immediately, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs or a pat of compound butter.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Always let steaks come to room temperature before grilling to ensure even cooking and optimal tenderness.
- Moisture Matters: Pat steaks completely dry before seasoning to achieve that coveted golden-brown crust.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with your spice blend - press seasonings firmly into the meat for maximum flavor penetration.
- High Heat is Your Friend: A scorching hot grill (450-500°F) creates those beautiful sear marks and locks in juices.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: Take the guesswork out of doneness by checking internal temperature for perfect results every time.
- Rest Your Meat: Letting steaks rest after grilling allows juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is incredibly succulent.
- Slice Against the Grain: This technique guarantees the most tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture possible.
