The Best Grilled Steak

I don’t care what your favorite cut of beef is. Whether it’s a T-bone, New York Strip or tenderloin, it don’t really matter much. When it comes to grilling steak, the best steaks are cut thick and they’re cooked slow and low to perfection. That’s the secret. I’ve shown you how to cook a Pan Fried Ribeye Steak that will turn out amazing, every time. Now let me show you how to grill a thick Ribeye Steak or any thick steak for that matter, to perfection.

Steak Prices

I realize that beef prices are currently sky rocketing across the country but it’s summer time and that means grilling season. That’s why I shared and posted my Cold Noodle Spaghetti Salad with you, last week. Now, I’m going to share the easiest way to grill any thick cut steak and I chose one of my favorite cuts; the Ribeye.

I bought this 20 oz Choice grade steak for $16.61, US. Not accounting for the price fluctuation, this same steak would easily cost any where from $25 dollars, all the way up to $50 bucks in most restaurants around the country. It just depends on where you’re dining. So, already I’m saving money just doing it myself.

Grilling to Perfection

Believe it or not, my neighbor gave me a stainless steel Weber grill. I know… sweet, right? And, no, I don’t live in a ritzy neighborhood. I live in a trailer park and my wife’s friend was upgrading to a bigger grill. The point is, it’s a gas grill but you use what ever you’ve got.

I maintain a temperature just barely under 400° Fahrenheit with the lid down. I run all three burners at the same time, on low, and I put my steaks right in the middle. I time them, 10 minutes per side but I rotate every 5 minutes. meaning I turn the steak 90° every 5 minutes. After 10 minutes, I flip the steak, turn the heat to high on one burner, then I reversed sear an additional minute on each side. I take an internal temperature to make sure I reach my desired temp, then remove from the heat.

Calling all Ribeye Steak Lovers!

One of my absolute favorite steaks, to eat, is the Ribeye Steak. But I can’t tell you how many times I have found myself at a barbecue with the host or “chef” that didn’t know how to grill as much as he was boasting.  It’s always a shame too, because usually there are so many people on the side lines just salivating, waiting for the food that has been filling the air with that marinated smokey smell.  Mmm, I can almost smell it now!

Grilling Ribeye Steak Time and Temp

A few months back I posted about cooking time and temperatures for a Ribeye Steak.  Okay, not just Ribeye’s, Steaks in general.  As you may or may not know, it all comes down to the size and thickness of your steak.  Of coarse that sounds like common sense but sometimes, like anything, it’s often ignored.  Anyway, I’ve got a chart that demonstrates the cooking time and temperatures you should by referencing the next time you’re throwing down on the grill.

Ribeye Steak Ingredients:

1 Ribeye

Salt and Pepper to taste (generously on both sides)

Most Cooking times are based on using High heat to bring your steak to your desired inner temperature; rare, medium rare, medium and well done.  For this Ribeye Steak recipe, or any steak, just follow the chart for thickness, time and temperatures.
