My goodness, you’ve managed to grill a steak, but it’s clear you need some serious guidance. Let’s turn this disaster into a masterpiece. Now, let’s get to work and salvage this sorry excuse for a steak.

Grilling the Best Steak

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2-inch thick ribeye, bone-in or bone-out (about 1 1/2 pounds without the bone)
• 3/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

For the herb butter sauce:

• 4 tablespoons butter
• Leaves from 4 sprigs of thyme
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 shallot, about half the size of a golf ball, minced

Method:

1. Trim the outer layer of fat from the ribeye, leaving the marbling intact.
2. Pat the steak dry with a paper towel, season each side with salt and pepper, and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least an hour and up to 48 hours.
3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add the herbs, garlic, and shallots. Let the flavors infuse while melting over low heat. Set aside.
4. Preheat the grill for two-zone cooking, one very hot for searing the steak, and one medium for finishing the steak and cooking it through.
5. Place the steak on the hottest side of the grill, sear for 2 minutes, then flip and baste with the melted herb butter. Continue flipping and basting every two minutes, moving the steak to a lower heat side after the initial sear, until it reaches your desired doneness.
6. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving with any remaining herb butter sauce.

This method will ensure a juicy, flavorful steak with a beautiful crust and a touch of finesse. Now, don’t muck it up again. And for heaven’s sake, pay attention to the wine pairing this time. Cheers!

Wine Pairing

You must have a wine pairing to elevate this sad steak experience. I recommend a bold Cabernet Sauvignon to complement the rich flavors of the steak. A bottle of Caymus Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon will do the trick, but I doubt you’ll appreciate its excellence.
