Ingredients
- Steak Ribeye, Sirloin, or your preferred cut - 1 pound
- Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
- Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
- Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
- Paprika - 1 teaspoon
- Salt - to taste
- Black pepper - to taste
- Butter unsalted - 2 tablespoons
- Fresh herbs thyme/rosemary - optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preparation of Steak: Start by choosing a high-quality cut of steak. Pat it dry with paper towels, ensuring it's moisture-free for a great sear.
- Marinade Creation: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
- Marinating the Steak: Rub the marinade thoroughly over the steak, covering it well. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb those fabulous flavors.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat until it's hot.
- Cooking the Steak: Place the marinated steak on the grill. For medium-rare, cook for about 4-5 minutes per side. Adjust the timing for desired doneness.
- Finishing Touches: Add a tablespoon of butter on top of the steak while it finishes cooking, and let it melt into the meat for extra richness.
- Rest Before Serving: Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh herbs if desired and serve with your favorite sides.
