Ingredients
Scale
Marinade
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Steak
- 2 ribeye steaks
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: Combine the olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped fresh rosemary in a small dish until well mixed.
- Marinate the steaks: Place the ribeye steaks in a shallow bowl or casserole dish. Pour the garlic-rosemary marinade over them, turning the steaks with tongs to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Marinate time: Let the steaks sit and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to absorb the flavors.
- Bring steaks to room temperature: About 30 minutes before grilling, remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for even cooking.
- Preheat grill: Heat the grill to medium-high, approximately 400-450°F, preparing it for the steaks.
- Season the steaks: Generously season the marinated steaks with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper just before placing them on the grill.
- Grill the steaks: Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes total, flipping halfway through to achieve medium-rare doneness.
- Adjust cooking time as needed: If a higher level of doneness is preferred, continue grilling for a few more minutes, monitoring closely.
- Rest the steaks: Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Marinating the steak for at least 1 hour enhances flavor and tenderness.
- Letting steaks come to room temperature helps them cook more evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness: 130°F for medium rare.
- Resting the steak after grilling is essential to keep it juicy.
- If you don’t have a grill, a grill pan on the stovetop can be used as an alternative.
