GRILLED STEAKS:
Grilled steaks are a delicious and satisfying meal, perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re having a date night in or celebrating a special event, grilled steaks are always a hit. They can be cooked to perfection on the grill, resulting in juicy and flavorful meat.
To prepare grilled steaks, start by seasoning them with olive oil and your choice of dry rub. In this recipe, the Sweet Garlic and Onion Rub is used for added flavor. Once seasoned, place the steaks on a hot fire over indirect heat to sear. For an extra smoky flavor, hickory wood can be used during grilling.
Cook the steaks with the grill closed for about 7 minutes before flipping them. Continue cooking until the steaks reach your desired level of doneness. The total cook time will depend on the thickness of the steaks.
After grilling, allow the steaks to rest for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures tender and juicy meat. Serve the grilled steaks as is or drizzle them with the homemade Whiskey Steak Sauce for an added burst of savory and delicious flavors. Enjoy!
INTERNAL TEMPERATURES FOR GRILLED STEAKS:
When grilling steaks, it is important to cook them to the proper internal temperature to ensure they are cooked safely and to your desired level of doneness. Here are some general guidelines for internal temperatures:
- Rare: 125°F – 130°F
- Medium Rare: 130°F – 135°F
- Medium: 140°F – 145°F
- Medium Well: 150°F – 155°F
- Well Done: 160°F+
These temperatures are measured using a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak. Keep in mind that these temperatures will result in different levels of pinkness in the center of the steak. If you prefer a more well-done steak, simply cook it to a higher internal temperature.
It is also important to let the steaks rest for about 10 minutes after grilling before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
