Grilling steak is an art that involves the perfect cut of meat, seasoning, flame, and technique. It might be for a summer barbecue or a cozy evening with friends, but a well-grilled steak can make it a showstopper. Here are ten mouthwatering grilled steak recipes that will make you a pro grill master with your taste buds craving for more.
The ideal barbecue steak is the perfection in grilled: a simple rub really lets the rich flavors of beef shine and that all begins with an excellent cut- ribeye or sirloin. Rub the steak first with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder. The grilling would have to be over medium-high heat so the meat gets a good sear on the outside and stays juicy and tender inside.
Cook by grilling and flipping the steak only once to get a beautiful crust. The grill will add smokiness and a rich flavor to your steak. Brush the steak with BBQ sauce in the last few minutes of grilling and let it caramelize for that instant savory flavor. Grill some vegetables along with your steak, or make a fresh salad for a healthy, satisfying meal.
For a fan of herb flavor that is strong and heavy, garlic herb grilled steak is the solution. The marinade is very simple but potent: olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, thyme, and lemon juice. The herbs add flavor to the steak but also make it tender so that one will experience this very soft texture and juicy feel.
For best results, let the steak marinate for at least 2-3 hours so that flavors penetrate deep into it. Grill to desired doneness when grilling. This recipe works well with flank steak or tenderloin, which benefit wonderfully from the bright herbal notes that the marinade imparts.
If you are ready for a smoky flavor for your grilled steak, this coffee rub should do it. The rich, earthy flavors of coffee mixed with brown sugar, paprika, and a pinch of chili powder make for a nice flavor profile. This recipe should work best with thicker cuts of steak, like porterhouse or T-bone, which would need a longer cooking time.
Prepare this steak by generously spreading the coffee rub on it for at least one hour before grilling. Then, grill using indirect heat to smoke the steak inside a grill. Smoke the steak slowly and long for that intense deep flavor. Serve with mashed potatoes or grilled corn on the cob to complement your BBQ.
The peppercorn-crusted grilled steak is another option to really kick up the flavor of a great steak. It is bold and fresh with freshly cracked black pepper; a peppercorn crust adds texture with the sharp contrast in the richness and butteriness of the steak from the rich, tangy bearnaise sauce.
Prepare ahead; season your steak with cracked black pepper and a pinch of salt. Grill it to your liking and doneness, and enjoy that crispy pepper crust. It's great for use on ribeye or New York strip steaks. It adds that bold, spicy flavor to the peppercorn crust for grilled vegetables.
You'll get that tangy, sweet flavor of balsamic vinegar, which goes well with the rich taste of grilled steak. Ingredients in your balsamic-glazed steak will be balsamic vinegar, honey, and a smidgen of Dijon mustard. The glaze is made by reducing these ingredients to a syrupy consistency, then brushing over the steak close to its finish time grilling.
This dish should be prepared with thinner cuts of meat, such as flank or skirt steak. The balsamic glaze caramelizes on the steak while on the grill and provides a shiny, rich coating. Roasted vegetables and rice on the side will complement this dish nicely.
For those who relish a chunk of steak with some spiciness, it's hard not to be satisfied with this spicily Cajun grilled steak. The combination of paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme in the Cajun seasoning is zesty, bold, and very good on beef.
Rub generously with Cajun seasoning and let sit for at least 30 minutes for good penetration of flavor. Grill over medium-high heat to the desired doneness. A good steak must be grilled up, browned at the edges, and spicy-flavored on the outside and juicy inside. The spiciness is tempered by a refreshing side salad.
Lemon and dill grilled steak is an airy, fresh steak option that brings bright, spicy zest to your plate. The marinade combines lemon juice, zest, fresh dill, olive oil, and a touch of honey to balance tartness with sweetness.
This recipe is ideal for lean cuts like sirloin or flank steak. Marinate your steak for 1-2 hours; the citrus and dill will settle well into the meat. Grill your steak to your preferred doneness, served over grilled vegetables or a quinoa salad. The fresh, aromatic flavors of lemon and dill make it refreshing for a summer grilling session.
For that Asian-tuned flavor, a teriyaki-grilled steak gives in to the craving. Actually, it is a well-balanced dish whose sweet and savory flavors balance the richness of the beef with the sweet flavors of the teriyaki sauce.
Then, prepare the marinade by mixing soy sauce, honey, crushed garlic, ginger, and a splash of rice vinegar. Marinate your steak for at least an hour so that the sweet, salty, and tangy infusion would have seasoned in the meat. Grilled the steak over high heat, getting it golden brown for a few minutes on each side. One great thing about this recipe is that you can use flank steak or skirt steak.

Chimichurri is a strong Argentine sauce that contains parsley, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and red pepper flakes. It goes perfectly with the smoky flavor of grilled steak, providing freshness and a tang in comparison to the richness of the beef.
Marinate the steak in the chimichurri sauce for 30 minutes to an hour before grilling it to your desired doneness. In these super green-colored sauces, the steak comes covered in something bursting with freshness. It is most suitable for flank steak, skirt steak, or ribeye and will add a fine dimension to your next BBQ event.
For a decadent take on the classic grilled steak, a blue cheese-crusted steak is a must. The pungent tang of blue cheese makes your steak taste luxurious. To prepare the crust, combine crumbled blue cheese with breadcrumbs, garlic, and just a touch of butter.
Brush a mixture onto the steak during the last minute or so on the grill, allowing the cheese to melt into the beef as it finishes cooking.
