Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) beef chuck steak
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt
- Black pepper
Cooking and Finishing Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Thoroughly coat the beef chuck with a vibrant blend of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, ensuring complete coverage.
- Fire up the grill to high temperature, creating an intense heat zone for optimal searing.
- Carefully place the seasoned meat on the hot grill grates, allowing each side to develop a rich, caramelized crust.
- Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, rotating once to achieve those coveted cross-hatch grill marks.
- For medium-rare perfection, aim for an internal temperature around 135°F, using a meat thermometer for precision.
- Remove the chuck from the grill and immediately crown it with a luxurious dollop of garlic herb butter.
- Let the meat rest for 5-7 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute and ensure maximum tenderness.
- Slice against the grain into succulent portions, serving immediately to preserve the peak flavor and temperature.
Notes
- Achieve a perfect sear by patting the beef chuck dry before adding oil to ensure a beautiful golden-brown crust.
- Experiment with different spice blends like Cajun seasoning or smoky chipotle rub to customize the flavor profile of your steak.
- Let the meat rest for 5-7 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.
- For a healthier option, trim visible fat before cooking and opt for lean cuts of beef chuck to reduce overall calorie and fat content.
