Ingredients
- 2 T-bone steaks
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Olive oil
- Fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Begin by removing the T-bone steaks from the refrigerator and allowing them to come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. This helps ensure even cooking.
- While the steaks are resting, prepare your grill. Preheat the grill to high heat, around 450°F to 500°F (232°C to 260°C). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are glowing red and covered with a light ash.
- Pat the T-bone steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help achieve a good sear on the grill.
- Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. This not only adds flavor but also helps prevent sticking to the grill.
- Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper. Don't be shy; this enhances the flavor of the meat.
- If you have fresh rosemary, you can chop a few sprigs and sprinkle them over the steaks for added flavor. Alternatively, you can place whole sprigs on the grill for a smoky aroma.
- Once the grill is hot, place the T-bone steaks on the grill grates. Close the lid and let them cook undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes.
- After 4-5 minutes, flip the steaks using tongs. Avoid using a fork, as piercing the meat can let the juices escape. Cook for another 4-5 minutes with the lid closed for medium-rare doneness.
- For medium, continue grilling for an additional 1-2 minutes on each side. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare and 140°F (60°C) for medium.
- Once the steaks are cooked to your desired doneness, remove them from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- After resting, slice the T-bone steaks against the grain for maximum tenderness. Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh rosemary if desired.
Tips
- Bring to Room Temperature: Always let your T-bone steaks rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before grilling. This ensures they cook evenly and achieve that delicious crust.
- Preheat Your Grill: Make sure your grill is preheated to high heat (450°F to 500°F) before adding the steaks. A hot grill is essential for a perfect sear.
- Pat Dry for Searing: Dry your steaks with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving a great sear and locking in those juices.
- Generous Seasoning: Don’t skimp on the salt and pepper! A generous seasoning enhances the natural flavors of the meat, so be bold!
- Use Tongs, Not a Fork: When flipping your steaks, use tongs instead of a fork to avoid piercing the meat and losing precious juices.
- Check Doneness with a Thermometer: For perfect results, use a meat thermometer. Aim for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare and 140°F (60°C) for medium.
- Let It Rest: After grilling, allow your steaks to rest for about 5 minutes. This step is key to redistributing the juices for a tender, flavorful bite.
- Slice Against the Grain: When it’s time to serve, slice the steaks against the grain to maximize tenderness and make each bite enjoyable.
