Feast Your Eyes!
Look at this beauty! Just imagine it sizzling away, giving off that smoky aroma that makes your neighbors drop by uninvited (you know, because they can smell it). This steak is not just a meal; it’s an experience!
Ingredients That’ll Make You Dance!
Here’s what you need to make this magic happen in your kitchen:
- 2 ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for heat preference)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges (for that zesty finish)
Instructions: Time to Cook Like a Pro!
Now that you’ve got your ingredients, it’s time to unleash your inner grill master!
- Start by taking those ribeye steaks out of the fridge and letting them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This makes them happier and juicier. Trust us!
- In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. This is your secret spice mix that’ll make your steak sing!
- Rub both sides of each steak generously with olive oil, then coat them in the spice mix. Get messy with it; it’s part of the fun!
- Fire up your grill or cast-iron skillet over high heat. You want it to be HOT. Like, hotter than your favorite dance floor!
- Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on one side (don’t peek; you want that perfect crust), then flip and do the same for another 4-5 minutes. Adjust the time based on your desired doneness.
- Remove your steaks from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes. This is crucial — it allows the juices to redistribute. No one likes a dry steak!
- Serve them up with some lemon wedges on the side, and maybe a couple of your favorite sides of course. Voila! You’ve just leveled up your culinary game!
Dig in and enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite. Trust us, your taste buds are in for a treat! Happy grilling!
