Ingredients:
- 2 boneless ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Balsamic glaze (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Steak Marinade:
- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Marinate the Steaks:
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and place them in a shallow dish.
- Brush the marinade over both sides of the steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Allow the steaks to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or longer for a richer flavour. You can refrigerate them if marinating for an extended period.
3. Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your BBQ grill to high heat.
4. Grill the Steaks:
- Remove the steaks from the marinade and let them come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
- Grill the steaks for approximately 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or adjust the time to your desired doneness. For well-done steaks, cook a bit longer, but be careful not to overcook and dry them out.
5. Rest the Steaks:
- Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and results in a juicier steak.
6. Serve:
- Slice the steaks against the grain into thin strips.
- Optionally, drizzle with balsamic glaze for a tangy and sweet finish.
- Serve the chargrilled steak slices on a platter, and you can accompany them with sides like grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.
7. Enjoy:
- Enjoy the deliciously chargrilled steaks with your chosen sides, and savour the robust flavours from the marinade and grill.
