29 Foolproof Grilled Steak Recipes That'll Turn You Into A Grill Master

We love any reason to take a break from burgers and chicken and grill up a juicy steak. And this doesn't have to be intimidating, we promise. Contrary to popular belief, grilling steak is actually way easier than grilling chicken. All you need are a couple of handy guidelines, a hot grill, and your favorite cut. Our all-time favorite cut for grilling? The ribeye. Ribeyes are thick and beautiful, with the ideal amount of marbling of fat (a.k.a. flavor!) that doesn’t need a marinade.

Everyone has their favorite cut of steak, but no matter what you choose, each steak typically will require about 4 to 6 minutes per side for that perfect medium-rare result. It might seem tempting to cut right into your steak, but please let it rest at least 10 minutes to allow the meat to seal in all those glorious juices. And if you've ever wondered how to get that deliciously crispy exterior, it couldn't be easier than seasoning each side with, yes, a thick blanket of kosher salt and pepper.

Grilled steak really doesn't need more seasoning than simple salt and pepper, but we love any opportunity to experiment with different marinades and toppings. Butter is hands-down our favorite topper for grilled steak, especially when it means we can make a fun, herby garlic chive butter or cowboy butter. Tangy soy sauce also lends itself to the richness of steak, and is our secret weapon for marinating our teriyaki steak, beef and broccoli kebabs, and cajun butter steak.
