Ingredients
  

  • 4 beef steaks ribeye, striploin or sirloin, about 1 inch thick
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary or 1 tablespoon dried
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika optional, for smoky depth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter per steak, for finishing

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and lemon juice. Whisk thoroughly to form a fragrant marinade. This base adds flavour and tenderises the meat naturally.
  • Place the steaks in a shallow dish or sealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Massage gently to coat all sides evenly. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2 to 4 hours. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before grilling to allow the meat to come to room temperature.
  • Heat your grill to high, aiming for a surface temperature around 230 to 260°C. Clean the grates with a stiff brush and oil them lightly using tongs and a paper towel soaked in oil. This prevents sticking and helps create defined grill marks.
  • Just before grilling, remove excess marinade and gently pat the steaks dry with kitchen paper. This encourages a better sear by eliminating surface moisture.
  • Place the steaks on the hot grill. For medium rare, cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes. Avoid pressing the meat; let the grill do the work. Rotate the steaks 90 degrees halfway through this time if you want crosshatch marks.
  • Flip the steaks using tongs. Grill for another 3 to 4 minutes for medium rare or longer for your preferred doneness. Internal temperature should read 54°C for medium rare, 60°C for medium, and 66°C for medium well.
  • In the last minute of grilling, place 1 tablespoon of butter on each steak and let it melt over the surface. This adds richness and a glossy finish. Close the grill lid briefly to trap heat and aroma.
  • Transfer the steaks to a wooden board or warm plate. Loosely cover with foil and let rest for 8 to 10 minutes. Resting allows juices to redistribute, ensuring tenderness in every bite.
  • Slice the steaks against the grain for easier chewing, especially if using a tougher cut. Alternatively, serve each steak whole on a plate if using ribeye or striploin for an authentic steakhouse presentation.
  • Plate the steak with classic sides like grilled corn, baked potato, or coleslaw. Add a sprinkle of flaky salt just before serving for added texture. Offer steak sauce or mustard on the side, but let the beef be the star.
