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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or the skillet to prevent sticking.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Remove the steaks from the grill or skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

Slice the steaks against the grain and serve hot. Pair with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
