Product Focus: Sawa Sawa Grilling Dry Spice Blend

Ingredients:

• 2 (1.5-inch thick) ribeye steaks
• 1.5 tablespoons Sawa Sawa Grilling Dry Spice Blend
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for coating)
• Salt (if desired, use coarse salt)

Instructions:

Prepare Steaks: Pat the ribeye steaks thoroughly dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving a good sear and crust.

Seasoning: (Optional: Lightly brush steaks with olive oil if desired, this helps the rub stick). Generously sprinkle the Saffron & Sands Sawa Sawa blend evenly over all sides of each steak, pressing it gently to adhere. Allow the steaks to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor penetration.

Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat (500-550°F / 260-290°C) for direct grilling. Get it screaming hot to achieve that perfect sear.

Sear Steaks: Place the seasoned ribeyes directly over the high heat. Sear for 2-4 minutes per side, turning only once, until a deep brown crust forms.

Finish Cooking (Direct or Indirect):

For thinner steaks or well-done: Continue cooking directly over high heat, flipping every 1-2 minutes until desired doneness is reached.

For thicker steaks or medium-rare/medium: After searing, move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill (indirect heat) or lower the heat to medium. Continue to grill, flipping every 2-3 minutes, until desired internal temperature is reached.

• Rare: 125-130°F (52-54°C)
• Medium-Rare: 130-135°F (54-57°C)
• Medium: 135-140°F (57-60°C)
• Medium-Well: 140-150°F (60-66°C)
• Well-Done: 150-160°F (66-71°C)

Rest: Remove steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board, loosely tented with foil, for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Slice & Serve: Slice against the grain and serve immediately.

Tips for Success:

1. Room Temperature: Starting with steaks closer to room temperature allows for more even cooking.
2. Don't Overcook: Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness without cutting into the steak.
3. The Rest is Best: Resting the steak is non-negotiable for juicy results!
