Perfectly Grilled Denver Steak
Denver steak, with its rich marbling and robust flavor, is a hidden gem among beef cuts, ideal for grilling or pan-searing. This juicy and tender steak is seasoned simply to highlight its natural taste, ensuring each bite is bursting with savory goodness. Historically, the Denver steak comes from the chuck section of the cow, showcasing how lesser-known cuts can deliver incredible flavor and tenderness when cooked properly.
Ingredients
- Denver steak
- 2 (about 1-inch thick, 8 oz each)
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Paprika
- 1 teaspoon
- Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Ensure it's hot before adding the steak for a great sear.
- In a small bowl, combine the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. This spice blend will create a flavorful crust.
- Rub the Denver steaks with olive oil, making sure to coat them evenly on all sides.
- Sprinkle the spice blend generously over the steaks, pressing it into the meat to enhance flavor.
- Carefully place the steaks on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the cooking time according to your preferred doneness.
- Once finished cooking, remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for at least 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more succulent bite.
- Slice the steaks against the grain and serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs for added freshness.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the steaks in a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and herbs for 1-2 hours prior to cooking.
- If you prefer a sauce, consider a chimichurri or garlic butter to drizzle over the steak just before serving.
