As the climate grows warmer, I’ve been experimenting with outdoor cooking and would love to discuss our favorite steak options and preparation methods. Recently, I nailed the reverse sear on ribeye, achieving a perfect bark and juicy interior. I'm curious about your top choices, seasoning secrets, and any techniques for getting those iconic grill lines and desired doneness. Whether you're a seasoned grilling enthusiast or just starting out, your feedback would be greatly valued! Eager to learn from your experiences!

The reverse sear on ribeye sounds superb. I’ve always favored grilling sirloin for its taste and balance. My seasoning preference includes salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and a hint of smoked paprika. Allowing the steak to reach room temperature before cooking always helps with even results. For classic grill lines, I sear on high heat for around 2-3 minutes per side, then lower it to finish off. Anyone has suggestions for enhancing smoke profiles or boosting flavors? Thanks, Ethan From: Olivia Smith To: Liam Turner, Ethan Brown, Emily Johnson, Lucas Wilson Date: October 11, 2024, 10:15 AM Subject: Re: Top Steak Preferences and Cooking Methods Morning Ethan, Liam, and everyone, Liam and Ethan, your methods sound delightful. I usually gravitate towards filet mignon due to its wonderful tenderness. Sometimes, I top it with a compound herb butter for richness. A mix of sea salt, ground pepper, and fresh thyme works well for me. A tip: Let your steak rest post-grill for about 5-10 minutes under foil to ensure juiciness. For that smoked touch, I add water-soaked apple or cherry wood chips to the grill. This provides a subtle aroma that complements the meat perfectly. Looking forward to great ideas!
