Achieve perfectly grilled steaks with ideal sear and tenderness in just 20 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 4 boneless beef steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or strip), 8 oz each

→ Marinade & Seasoning

02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1 tbsp kosher salt
04 - 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
05 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 1 tsp dried rosemary

→ To Serve

07 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter
08 - Lemon wedges

# How-To Steps:

01 - Pat steaks thoroughly dry with paper towels. Brush both sides evenly with olive oil.
02 - Combine salt, pepper, garlic, and rosemary in a small bowl. Rub mixture generously over all surfaces of the steaks.
03 - Heat gas or charcoal grill to high temperature, reaching 450-500°F.
04 - Place steaks on hot grill. Cook 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness. Adjust timing for preferred doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
05 - During the final minute of grilling, top each steak with 1/2 tbsp butter for added richness.
06 - Remove steaks from grill. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
07 - Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The high heat creates that restaurant quality crust while keeping the inside incredibly tender
  • Perfect for weeknight dinners but impressive enough for dinner parties
02 -
  • Touching the steak too much while cooking prevents that gorgeous crust from forming
  • The resting period is not optional, it is what keeps all those juices inside instead of on your cutting board
03 -
  • Take your steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before grilling so they cook evenly
  • Let your grill grate get properly hot before adding any meat
