British Grilled Garlic and Black Pepper Steak

Introduction

Savor the bold flavors of this British Grilled Garlic and Black Pepper Steak, seared to perfection on the Arteflame Grill. The intense searing heat locks in all the juices, creating a tender, flavorful steak that is juicy on the inside and beautifully charred on the outside. Using the reverse searing method, we achieve restaurant-quality results while grilling all our other sides on the flat griddle cooktop, ensuring a stress-free and delicious outdoor cooking experience.

Ingredients

• 2 thick-cut ribeye or sirloin steaks
• 2 tbsp coarsely ground black pepper
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp coarse sea salt
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the soaked napkins in the center of the grill.
3. Stack firewood over the napkins and light them.
4. Allow the grill to heat up for about 20 minutes until the center grate reaches 1,000°F.

Step 2: Season the Steaks

1. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel.
2. Rub both sides with black pepper, minced garlic, sea salt, and Worcestershire sauce.
3. Let the steaks rest for 10 minutes to absorb the seasoning.

Step 3: Sear the Steaks

1. Place the steaks directly on the center grill grate.
2. Allow them to sear for about 45 seconds per side, creating a beautiful crust.

Step 4: Reverse Sear to Perfection

1. Move the seared steaks to the outer flat griddle cooktop.
2. Add butter and fresh thyme on top.
3. Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 15°F below the desired doneness.
4. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Tips

• Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness.
• Always let the steak rest to allow juices to redistribute.
• Grill additional sides like mushrooms and asparagus on the Arteflame cooktop for a complete meal.
• Position foods around the griddle based on their required heat level.
