Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (gas or charcoal) and clean the grate.
- Pat the 2 steaks dry with paper towels. Chop the 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary.
- Brush both sides of the steaks with the 1 tablespoon olive (or vegetable) oil.
- Evenly sprinkle the 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, and the chopped rosemary over both sides of the steaks; press the seasonings lightly into the meat with your hands.
- Place the steaks on the grill and immediately reduce the heat to medium. For clear char marks, set each steak at a 45° angle to the grill bars.
- Grill the steaks about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare (target internal temperature 130°F / 55°C). Flip only once; use an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part to check doneness.
- Transfer the steaks to a plate. Divide the 2 tablespoons butter into two pats (1 tablespoon each) and place one on top of each steak.
- Loosely tent the plate with foil and let the steaks rest 5–10 minutes while the butter melts, then serve.

Notes
Clean your grill.The first step to a beautifully grilled steak is clean grates! This makes it easier to flip your steaks cleanly and keeps that burnt flavor at bay. You can also oil the grates to make flipping even easier.
Bring steaks to room temperature.This may sound dangerous, but it helps the steaks cook faster in the center! When you’re prepping dinner, take out your steaks and let them sit on the counter for about half an hour.
Add more flavor.This is a super simple steak recipe that is perfectly juicy and flavorful every time. However, if you want more flavor, use amarinadeor more garlic and herbs! I’ve also used compound butter for even more buttery flavor, too.
Grill the whole meal.I strive to keep the oven and stove off during the summer. Luckily, there’s tons of amazing sides you can make on the grill, too! Add some asparagus, zucchini,mushrooms, bell peppers, corn on the cob, or evenbaked potatoesto the grates this summer.
Best Steak for Grilling.I choose a thick steak that’s 1.5 to 2 inches thick. This lets me get a great char on the outside and still have a beautiful pink inside.When you’re picking the best steak to grill, look for ribeyes, strip steaks, filets, porterhouse, t-bone steaks, or top sirloin steaks. If you’re using a bone-in steak, be sure to check the temperature of both sides.
