Grilling Tips - How to Grill a Rib Eye Steak

Monday, October 11, 2010

Nothing can match the amazing taste and smell of a perfectly grilled rib eye steak from your very own backyard. Grilling a rib eye steak is not that much different than grilling any other steak. If you want the best results, choose some top quality meat and season to your own taste.

First of all, you need to thaw out your steak thoroughly. Don't put frozen meat on your grill as it won't cook properly. The next thing you want to do is to season your steak. Salt and pepper is generally all you need, you don't want to over do it.

Preheat your grill to the desired temperature before you think about tossing the steak on the grill. Gas grills are the easiest to determine the temperature but with charcoal you need to be extra vigilant to make sure your coals are hot enough. You know your charcoal is hot enough when they start to glow in the middle. You should hear a strong sizzle when you lay the rib eyes on the grill.

Grilling a rib eye steak should take 3-5 minutes per side depending on how thick or thin the cut of meat is. You don't want the flames to reach the steak so move them if you need to. Turn the steak in 45 degree angles if you want cross hatching grill marks.

To see if your steak is done or not you can make a small incision or use a meat thermometer. A rare steak is around 120°, medium rare is around 130°, medium is around 140°, and well done is around 160°. The major reason to use a meat thermometer is that you can tell when to flip it and when your rib eye is done.
