Rest Time: 10 minutes
Bring to Room Temperature:
Remove steaks from the fridge about 45 minutes before cooking to let them reach room temperature.
Pat Dry and Season:
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and season both sides generously with kosher salt, black pepper, and optional garlic powder.
Prepare the Grill:
Set up a two-zone grill: indirect heat on one side, high direct heat on the other. Preheat to around 225°F on the indirect side.
Reverse Sear: Low and Slow First:
Place steaks on the indirect side. Close the lid and cook until internal temp reaches:
- 115°F for rare
- 125°F for medium-rare
- 135°F for medium
High-Heat Sear:
Move steaks to the hot zone. Sear 1–2 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.
Optional Butter Baste:
For extra flavor, baste steaks during the sear with melted butter, garlic, and rosemary using a spoon or brush.
Reverse Sear:
Move steaks to direct heat and sear 1–2 minutes per side.
Rest the Steak:
Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5–10 minutes to retain juices.
Slice and Serve
Slice against the grain and serve hot with your favorite sides.
