The Secret: Season 1-2 Days Ahead
This is the game-changer that makes these ribeyes unforgettable. By seasoning 1-2 days ahead, you allow the natural tenderizers and spices in Kalmes All-in-One Seasoning & Tenderizer to penetrate deep into the meat, creating incredible flavor and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.
Instructions
Step 1: Season Your Steaks (1-2 Days Before Cooking)
Pat ribeye steaks completely dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil or melted butter. Apply Kalmes All-in-One Seasoning & Tenderizer very generously to both sides—don't be shy! The seasoning needs time to work its magic.
Step 2: Refrigerate and Wait
Place seasoned steaks on a wire rack set over a plate or baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 days. The longer you wait (up to 2 days), the more tender and flavorful your steaks will be.
Pro tip: The uncovered rack allows air circulation, which helps develop a better crust when you grill.
Step 3: Bring to Room Temperature
Remove steaks from refrigerator 45-60 minutes before grilling. Let them come to room temperature for even cooking.
Step 4: Preheat Your Grill
Heat your grill to high heat (450-500°F). For gas grills, preheat for 10-15 minutes. For charcoal, wait until coals are white-hot.
Step 5: Grill to Perfection
Place steaks on the hottest part of the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temp 130-135°F), or adjust based on your preference:
- Rare: 120-125°F
- Medium-rare: 130-135°F
- Medium: 135-145°F
- Medium-well: 145-155°F
Flip only once for the best crust and grill marks. The pre-seasoning creates an incredible caramelized crust!
Step 6: Rest and Serve
Remove steaks from grill and let rest for 8-10 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute. Slice and prepare to be amazed—this is the best ribeye you've ever made!
