Ingredients
McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning
1/3 cup (none)
rib eye steaks
2 (12 ounce each) (bring to room temperature)
Instructions
1
Start by removing the rib eye steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This step ensures even cooking.
2
In a shallow dish, evenly spread the McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning, creating a generous line of flavor.
3
To season the steaks, hold them upright on their sides, like a wheel. Press the edge of each steak into the seasoning, turning slightly to coat the entire surface. Repeat this step until each steak is thoroughly seasoned.
4
Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450-500°F) or your broiler to high. If pan-searing, heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil.
5
Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting for your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; aim for 130°F for medium-rare.
6
Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute for a perfectly juicy steak.
7
Serve with your choice of sides, and enjoy!
