Ingredients

12 oz / 340 g beef steak (such as ribeye or strip steak)
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil (optional, for coating)

Instructions

1. Remove the beef steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. This ensures even cooking.
2. Preheat your grill to high heat. If using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are covered with white ash.
3. Meanwhile, pat the steak dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil, if using, and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
4. Place the steak on the grill. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness is reached.
5. Once cooked to your liking, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
6. Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately with your choice of sides or sauces.
