Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 2 ribeye steaks (12–14 ounces/340–400 grams each)
Spices and Seasonings:
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Cooking Oil:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Allow ribeye steaks to reach room temperature for 30-60 minutes, ensuring even cooking. Thoroughly blot moisture from the meat’s surface using paper towels to promote optimal searing.
- Thoroughly clean grill grates and apply a light coating of oil. Heat grill to intense direct heat between 450-500°F, creating perfect grilling conditions.
- Massage olive oil across both surfaces of the steaks, ensuring complete coverage. Create a robust seasoning blend by generously sprinkling salt, pepper, ground coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper across entire steak surfaces.
- Position steaks directly over high heat zones. Sear first side for 2-4 minutes until a rich, golden crust develops, creating beautiful caramelization and deep flavor profiles.
- Carefully monitor internal meat temperature using a precise meat thermometer. Target temperatures include rare (125°F), medium rare (135°F), medium (145°F), medium well (155°F), and well done (160°F).
- Transfer steaks to indirect heat zones if additional cooking time is required. Continue grilling 4-6 minutes per side, adjusting placement to achieve desired doneness without burning.
- Remove steaks from grill and let them rest undisturbed for 5 minutes. This crucial resting period allows internal juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum tenderness and flavor retention.
- Slice steaks against natural muscle grain and serve immediately while maintaining optimal temperature and juiciness.
Notes
- Use room temperature steaks to ensure even cooking and prevent tough meat texture.
- Pat steaks completely dry to achieve a perfect golden-brown crust and maximize seasoning adherence.
- Choose high-quality ribeye with good marbling for enhanced flavor and tenderness.
- Experiment with different spice blends to customize the steak’s flavor profile while maintaining the core seasoning.
- Let steaks rest after grilling to allow juices to redistribute, creating a more succulent and tender eating experience.
- Invest in a reliable meat thermometer to achieve precise doneness without overcooking.
- For leaner diets, trim visible fat and opt for smaller portion sizes while maintaining the grilling technique.
- Consider using a cast-iron skillet as an alternative cooking method for those without a grill, maintaining similar high-heat searing results.
