Ingredients

• 2 pounds chuck steak
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using a gas grill, turn the burners to medium-high. If using charcoal, wait until the coals are glowing and covered in gray ash.

Step 2

Pat the chuck steak dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which helps with browning.

Step 3

Rub both sides of the steak evenly with olive oil to act as a binder for the seasoning and to prevent sticking on the grill.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried thyme.

Step 5

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly on both sides of the steak, pressing it into the meat with your hands to ensure it adheres well.

Step 6

Once the grill is preheated, clean the grates with a grill brush and oil them lightly using tongs and a folded paper towel dipped in oil.

Step 7

Place the seasoned chuck steak on the hot grill. Let it sear without moving for about 5-6 minutes on one side, or until grill marks develop.

Step 8

Flip the steak using tongs and grill the other side for an additional 5-6 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).

Step 9

Once cooked to your preferred doneness, remove the steak from the grill and place it on a plate or cutting board.

Step 10

Tent the steak loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a juicy result.

Step 11

Slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a baked potato.
