Reverse-Seared Grilled Ribeye Steaks

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

If you want to upgrade your home-grilling status to a more professional level, try reverse-searing your steak. The trendy method requires salting the beef and chilling for 4 to 48 hours (the longer the better, so plan ahead!). Once they've rested, you grill over indirect low heat before a quick go on direct high heat. This grilled beef method seems tricky, but it's easy to learn and totally worth the mouthwatering results.

We didn't think prime rib could get any better, but mango butter brings the grilled beef recipe to the next level. Fresh mango develops a lovely smoky-sweet flavor on the grill before blending with butter. Smear it atop ancho-rubbed steak strips for a taste of the tropics.
