Ingredients :
1 high-quality boneless ribeye steak, about 1 1/2 inches thick
Coarse sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
A few sprigs of fresh rosemary and thyme (optional)
Instructions :
Allow the steak to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly.
Preheat your grill to high hea t.
Rub the steak all over with olive oil, crushed garlic, and if you like, a sprig of fresh rosemary and thyme.
Season the steak generously on both sides with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Once your grill is hot, place the steak on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust to your preference. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak should read about 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare .
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, keeping it moist and flavorful.
