Directions
Ingredients:
- 2 grass-fed steak cuts (such as ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon), about 1 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons grass-fed butter or ghee
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: Steak rub or seasoning of your choice
Instructions:
- Preparation:
- Take the grass-fed steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling. This allows the meat to cook more evenly.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using a gas grill, aim for around 400-450°F (200-230°C). If you're using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are ashed over and glowing red.
- Seasoning the Steaks:
- In a small bowl, melt the grass-fed butter or ghee. Add minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the grass-fed steaks. You can also use a steak rub or seasoning of your choice if preferred.
- Grilling the Steaks:
- Place the seasoned steaks onto the preheated grill. Position them diagonally across the grates for those classic grill marks.
- Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness, adjusting the time based on your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches your desired level: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, and 150°F (65°C) for medium-well.
- Avoid pressing down on the steaks with a spatula while grilling, as this can cause the juices to escape, resulting in drier meat.
- Resting and Serving:
- Once the steaks reach your desired level of doneness, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a clean plate.
- Tent the steaks loosely with foil or pot lid and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a juicier steak.
- After resting, slice the steaks against the grain into thick slices. This ensures tenderness.
- Serve the grilled grass-fed steaks hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
