Grill Up a Flavorful Feast: A Recipe for Perfectly Grilled Beef
Grilling season is finally here, and there's nothing quite like the sizzle and aroma of beef cooking over an open flame. Whether you're a seasoned grill master or a beginner, this recipe for perfectly grilled beef is sure to impress your friends and family.
Ingredients:
1 lb beef (sirloin, flank, or skirt steak)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions:
Start by preheating your grill to high heat.
While the grill heats up, prepare the beef. If using sirloin, cut into 1-inch thick steaks. If using flank or skirt steak, trim any excess fat and slice against the grain into 1/4 inch thick pieces.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the beef, making sure to coat both sides.
Once the grill is hot, place the beef directly over the heat. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) on a meat thermometer.
Once the beef is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product.
Serve the beef hot off the grill with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a refreshing salad.
Tips:
Make sure your grill is properly cleaned and oiled before grilling to prevent sticking.
Letting the beef come to room temperature before grilling can help it cook more evenly.
For an extra boost of flavor, try marinating the beef in the spice mixture for a few hours before grilling.
There you have it - a simple yet delicious recipe for grilled beef that's perfect for any occasion. With a little bit of seasoning and some careful grilling, you can create a mouth-watering dish that's sure to be a hit with your guests. Happy grilling!
