Ingredient List

Ingredients and measurements.

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Morton Coarse Sea Salt
  • 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 boneless ribeye steaks, 1-inch thick, marbled (about 2 lbs total weight)

Cooking Instructions

Step-By-Step Cooking Information and Guidance

Step 1

Crush the fennel seeds and red pepper flakes in a mortar and pestle.

 

Step 2

Transfer to a bowl, and add the sea salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 3

Stir to combine and then rub over both sides of the steak.

Step 4

Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare a gas or charcoal grill for high indirect heat. Clean the grill grates.

Step 6

Drizzle the steak on both sides with a little olive oil.

Step 7

Sear the steaks directly over the fire until nicely charred and grill-marked, turning once or twice and with the grill covered when not turning, about 10 minutes total.

Step 8

Using grilling tongs, transfer the steaks to the cooler side of the grill. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature; 130F is medium rare.

Step 9

Remove from the grill and let rest, lightly covered with foil, for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Slice against the grain and serve.

Tips For Success

Tips for Success:

  • You can also use bone-in ribeye steaks, in which case increase total weight to 2 1/2 lbs.
  • As a substitute for a mortar and pestle, place salt and spices in a bowl, and crush with a ladle. Another option is to place the mixture in a plastic bag, and roll with a rolling pin.
