How do long you grill a medium well rib eye?

Understanding Medium-Well:

* Medium-Well: The steak has a slight pinkness in the center but is mostly cooked through. The internal temperature is between 145-150°F (63-66°C).

Grilling Time:

* Thickness: The thickness of the ribeye steak will significantly impact the grilling time.

* 1-inch thick: Around 6-8 minutes per side.

* 1.5-inch thick: Around 8-10 minutes per side.

* 2-inch thick: Around 10-12 minutes per side.

Grilling Tips:

1. Prep:

* Temperature: Preheat your gas grill to medium-high heat (around 450°F/230°C) or charcoal grill with hot coals.

* Seasoning: Season your ribeye generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.

2. Grilling:

* Sear: Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side to create a nice sear.

* Rotate: Rotate the steak 90 degrees halfway through the sear to create those beautiful crosshatch grill marks.

* Cook: Continue grilling, flipping every 2-3 minutes, until the steak reaches your desired doneness.

3. Rest: Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and ensure a tender, juicy steak.

Checking Doneness:

* Thermometer: The most accurate way to check doneness is with a meat thermometer. Insert it into the thickest part of the steak, avoiding bone.

* Finger Test (Less Reliable): If you don't have a thermometer, you can try the finger test. Press the center of the steak.

* Medium-well will feel firm with a slight give.

Important Notes:

* Heat Levels: Adjust grilling times based on your grill's heat intensity. You may need to cook longer or shorter depending on your setup.

* Personal Preference: Doneness is a matter of personal preference. If you like your steak more well-done, grill it longer.

Enjoy your perfectly grilled medium-well ribeye!
