Jack Daniel's Grilled Steak Recipe | The Perfect Grilled Steak (2024)

FAQs

How do you grill steak perfectly every time? ›

Place the steaks on the grill and cook until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the steaks over and continue to grill 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare (an internal temperature of 135 degrees F), 5 to 7 minutes for medium (140 degrees F) or 8 to 10 minutes for medium-well (150 degrees F).

Coat your favorite cut of steak with olive or preferred cooking oil. Apply a heavy, even coat of Jack Daniel's® Steak Seasoning to entire surface. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes allowing the granules to dissolve. Place onto your prepared grill.

INGREDIENTS: SALT, SPICES, PAPRIKA, BROWN SUGAR, CHILI PEPPERS, GARLIC, ONION, AND SILICON DIOXIDE (FREE FLOW AGENT).

3. Season the Steak: Steaks don't need much to make them great. Just before grilling, brush them lightly on both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. If you want to get fancy, you can add spices like chili powder, paprika, or garlic powder to the rub.

Use indirect and direct heat on either a charcoal or gas grill for the best results. Sear the first side of your steak on the hot side of the grill and finish in indirect heat after flipping. Make sure to space your steaks about 1 inch apart to allow each steak to cook thoroughly.

Remember that! I brought the steaks out and laid them on the grill over high heat. When cooking steaks on the grill I follow the Rule of 3's: 3 minutes each side over high heat then 3 minutes each side over indirect heat. For a 1" steak this results in a perfectly medium rare temperature.

The whole process from salting to reabsorption takes around 40-45 minutes. And you want the steak to pull that moisture back in before cooking so it's not dried out. Therefore, the optimal amount of time to give your steak after seasoning and before cooking it on the grill is 40-45 minutes.

Additionally, Tennessee whiskey undergoes a charcoal filtering process before aging to give the whiskey its mellow character. In terms of taste, it provides a hint of charcoal combining with the toasted oak caramel and vanilla.

The key differentiator between seasoning and rubs is lies in the base of ingredients: many seasonings are salt and herb based, while most bbq rubs have an equal ratio of salt to sugar.

What oil do you rub steak in? ›

Coating the steak with a small amount of olive oil before applying the spice rub may help the rub stick a bit better. You may have heard that you should take your steak out of the refrigerator before cooking and allow it to warm closer to room temperature.

Lightly oil the steak on both sides to prevent it from sticking to the grill. It's best to add oil directly to the steak and not to the grill as oil will burn quickly on the grill causing excess smoke and flare-ups.

Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat (about 500 degrees). Sear steaks for 3 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking with the lid closed until the steaks reach the desired level of doneness (130 degrees F for medium-rare).

Marinate!

For indirect cooking, a good marinade is the best choice for locking in moisture and intense flavor. The best cuts of beef only need to soak for 20 minutes to an hour. For less choice cuts of meat, increase the soak time to tenderize them.
