What ingredients do you need to grill a steak?
Simple but quality ingredients are two key factors when grilling steak! For this recipe, you’ll need: a steak of your choice (I personally like to grill ribeye bone-in and New York strip), clarified butter or ghee, seasoning (at the very minimum kosher salt and cracked pepper).
What is the best way to grill a steak?
In my opinion, the steps below are the best way to grill a steak. It is simple and once you get the hang of these steps, you can start playing around to create a process of your own.
- Step 1: First you need to decide on what steak you would like. There are so many options available for whatever the occasion may be. Just make sure that the steak is 2 inches thick.
- Step 2:Take your steak out of the refrigerator for about 20 minutes before grilling. You want to make sure the center is not much colder than the rest of the steak. This will ensure even cooking.
- Step 3: Sprinkle your steak generously with kosher sea salt and pepper. I encourage you to add other seasonings, but if you are. in doubt, just add salt and pepper. Also, make sure you season both sides.
- Step 4: Pour clarified butter or ghee into a dish that is large enough to hold your steak. Then dip your steak in it right before placing your steak on the grill.
- Step 5: Using direct heat, you want to make sure you place your steak in the hottest place on your grill. Typically the center.
- Step 6: Make sure you monitor the temperature of your steak by using a thermometer or grill probe.
- Step 8: Once you reach your desired temperature, take your steak off the grill and let it rest uncovered for about 10 minutes to keep in the juices.

It’s best to season the steak right before grilling. I usually like to season my steak, dip it into the clarified butter or ghee and transfer it directly to the preheated grill.
Leaving the steak to rest after it’s done grilling is a crucial step to ensure that the juices of the steak don’t end up on the plate if the steak is cut too soon! Once you take the steak off the heat, let it rest for about 10 minutes – this will make sure the steak has finished cooking, the temperature is normalized, and the juices will stay inside the steak.
You can serve this grilled steak on its own cut into strips! You can also serve it with my cheesy asparagus au gratin or with this bright and refreshing Mediterranean faro salad.
