Perfect Grilled Ribeye Steak
Ingredients
4, 1 -1 ΒΌ” thick good ribeye steaks , about 1 pound each
olive oil, your favorite
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
Directions
Remove steaks from the refrigerator and place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for about 15 minutes, covered with foil. Allowing the steaks to warm up slightly will help them to cook more evenly.
Preheat grill to high. Drizzle your steaks with olive oil and rub it all over the steaks. Then liberally sprinkle with salt and pepper. Flip steaks and repeat. This will give the steaks that flavorful crust that good steak houses are known for.
After your grill has preheated place steaks on the grill, diagonally to the grill grates. Close the lid to the grill and allow steaks to cook. Cook steaks 4-5 minutes per side for medium rare, 5-6 minutes per side for medium.
After 2 minutes, move steaks to an opposite diagonal. Close cover to grill and allow steaks to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Flip steaks over with tongs so they are on the grill diagonal to the grill grates. After 2 minutes move steaks to an opposite diagonal. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes for medium rare. Again use 2-3 minutes for each step if you are cooking medium rare, use 3 minutes per step if you are cooking medium.
Place steaks on a clean baking sheet and loosely tent with aluminum foil. Allow steaks to rest for 5 minutes. This will help the juices redistribute through out the steak delivering a more flavorful product!
