Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6-8 oz each) Steak (ribeye, sirloin, or strip)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Scallions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice, freshly squeezed
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme, ground allspice, dried thyme, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a paste.
Rub the jerk seasoning paste evenly over both sides of the steaks. Add the scallions and lime juice to the steaks, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or the skillet to prevent sticking.
Cook the steaks for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time based on your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, or 150°F (66°C) for well-done.
Remove the steaks from the grill or skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steaks against the grain and serve hot. Pair with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
