Notes

  • Let your beef come to room temperature by letting it sit out 30 minutes before grilling. This will give your beef an even temperature throughout.
  • Pat down the seasoning to encrust the meat with it. This will ensure it sinks into the beef as it cooks and will give you the most flavor!
  • Always check the temperature with a meat thermometer to reach your desired degree of doneness.
