The Best Grilled Steak Ever!

Recipe #341080 | 33 min | 25 min prep | add private note

I have tried about 20 grilled steak recipes here, and none beat my old tried and true recipe. It is the result of years of experimentation, and is the best. I tried another Zaar recipe tonight, and I have decided to try and post mine here. Some of the ingredients are regional spices, so I'm not sure if I can post it, but I will do the best I can. This is absolutely the best grilled steak I have ever eaten! Please note: this is best made on a charcoal grill, gas is okay, but charcoal is best!! If you really want a smokey flavor, add hickory chips and cover the grill during the last few minutes!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, greek seasoning, and southern flavoring together.
  2. 2
    Place steaks in a shallow pan. Pour above mixture over the steaks. Turn to coat. Leave on the counter at room temperature. This is very important. It allows your meat to relax and absorb the marinade. This makes for the most tender and juicy of steaks!
  3. 3
    Place desired amount of charcoal in the bottom section of your grill. Squirt some lighter fluid on it. Light your charcoal after waiting a couple of minutes. Let the coals reach a medium high temp -- this should take about 20-25 minutes. Spread your coals evenly. This recipe is best on a charcoal grill, but you can use gas.
  4. 4
    Place the steaks on the grill. Cook about 4 minutes on each side. Cook according to your preferences -- medium, medium-rare, well done, etc.
  5. 5
    4 minutes on each side should produce a medium or medium-rare steak at 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.

This is a great steak marinade/seasoning, and we enjoyed this rubbed on a standing rib roast, most especially rub right into the top and sides of this piece of wonderful meat. This really made a huge taste sensation, and plan on using this on all of our steaks. After basting the rib roast with the juice, I sliced each rib and it was delightfully tender and a real beauty. Thanks for posting this, Breezermom! (I also used Montreal seasoning) Made for your win Everyday is a Holiday January 2009.

    The flavor of this steak was fantastic. I could not find the Southern Flavor charbroil seasoning so used Montreal Steak Seasoning, but the flavors were still great. We cooked in the dark so they got a little charred, but still cooked to our liking. Very moist and tender steak. Thanks for sharing. I plan to order the Southern flavor charbroil seasoning for out next cookout.

    I didn't have the Charbroil seasoning so I made of mix of garlic powder, seasoned salt, fresh ground pepper and dry basil after looking on the site to find out what was in the seasoning Our steaks were deliciouly tender and full of flavor. We had the steak with garlic mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts with garlic, butter and balsamic vinegar. It was a very tasty meal and one that will be repeated!

    Made this for dinner last night using a ribeye steak and it was very tasty!!! I couldn't find, despite living in the South, the seasoning from SouthernFlavor, so I substituted Montreal Steak Seasoning. It was so flavorful and nice and tender. Thanks for sharing breezermom!!!
