T-Bone steak is a premium cut of beef that offers the best of both worlds – a tender Filet Mignon on one side and a flavorful New York strip on the other. Cooking it to perfection using different methods can yield mouthwatering results. In this article, I will instruct you on How To Cook T-Bone Steak in 4 different ways
1. How To Cook T-Bone Steak on Grill
Grill is best way to cook T-Bone steak because it allows for direct heat exposure, creating a beautiful sear on the outside while preserving the tenderness and juiciness of the meat.
Ingredients
- 2 T-Bone steaks (about 1 ½ inches thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450°F or 230°C).
Rub the T-Bone steaks with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. For extra flavor, add fresh rosemary sprigs to the steaks. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
Place the steaks on the grill and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness. Adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of doneness (rare, medium, or well-done).
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving. This resting period helps retain the juices and ensures a tender and succulent steak.
