Dry surfaces help create a beautifully browned, caramelized crust during grilling. Drizzle the steaks lightly with olive oil. Season both sides generously with kosher salt, freshly cracked black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, oregano, and dried thyme. Gently press the seasoning into the meat so every surface is evenly coated. Preheat an outdoor gas grill to high heat, approximately 450–500°F (230–260°C). Clean the cooking grates thoroughly and lightly oil them to help prevent sticking. Arrange the seasoned steaks across the hot grill grates, leaving enough space between each piece for even cooking. Close the grill lid briefly to maintain consistent heat while the steaks begin to sear. Grill the steaks for approximately 3–5 minutes per side, depending on their thickness and your preferred doneness. Use stainless-steel tongs to turn each steak, allowing the surfaces to develop beautiful dark grill marks and a rich caramelized crust. For thicker steaks, move them to a cooler section of the grill after searing and continue cooking with indirect heat until they reach your desired internal temperature. For an irresistible finishing touch, melt the butter in a small skillet. Add the crushed garlic cloves, fresh rosemary, and thyme sprigs. Allow everything to gently sizzle until the butter becomes fragrant and infused with the aromatic herbs. During the final moments of grilling, brush the steaks with the garlic herb butter. Let the butter coat the browned surfaces, adding a glossy finish and incredible savory flavor. Use a reliable meat thermometer to check doneness. For food safety, whole-cut beef steaks should reach at least 145°F (63°C), followed by a three-minute rest. Transfer the grilled steaks to a warm wooden cutting board or serving platter. Allow them to rest for 5–10 minutes so the juices redistribute throughout the meat. Finish with another spoonful of garlic herb butter, a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, and a few fresh rosemary leaves. Slice against the grain when ready to serve. Serve these gorgeous grilled steaks hot alongside roasted potatoes, grilled corn, asparagus, charred vegetables, or your favorite barbecue sides. Every bite delivers smoky barbecue flavor, a beautifully seared crust, and delicious steakhouse-style goodness! 🤤🔥 Want the full recipe?
