Print Recipe

This recipe uses a simple 3-ingredient reverse-sear method to achieve a juicy, perfectly cooked steak with a flavorful crust. It is approachable, consistent, and ideal for grilling enthusiasts seeking foolproof results.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 thick-cut steak (ribeye, New York strip, or filet mignon, 1 to 1.5 inches thick)
  • Coarse kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: High-smoke point oil (grapeseed or avocado oil) for searing
  • Optional: Butter and fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme) for basting

Instructions

  1. Bring the steak to room temperature for 10-15 minutes and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Season both sides generously with coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Preheat your grill for indirect cooking by setting one side hot and the other cooler.
  4. Place the steak on the cooler side on a wire rack over a baking sheet or directly on the cooler grill grate. Close the lid and cook slowly until the internal temperature reaches about 110°F (43°C), approximately 20-30 minutes.
  5. Use an instant-read thermometer to monitor temperature starting at 15 minutes to avoid overcooking.
  6. Preheat the hot side of the grill or a cast iron skillet on the grill to very high heat.
  7. Sear the steak on the hot side for 1-2 minutes per side, adding a little oil to prevent sticking. Optionally, add fresh herbs and butter and baste the steak during searing.
  8. Remove the steak when it reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare and let rest under a loose foil tent for 5-10 minutes.
  9. Slice against the grain and serve immediately.

Notes

Use an instant-read thermometer for best results to avoid overcooking. Resting the steak after cooking is essential to retain juices. If the crust is not dark enough, sear a little longer but watch carefully to avoid burning. For dairy-free, skip butter and use oil and herbs for basting. The method works on gas grills by setting up a two-zone fire.
