Grilling Tips

Ready to Grill when your Steaks Arrive?
Rube’s Steaks arrive FRESH, ready for your grill.
- Bring your steaks to room temperature 30 – 45 minutes prior to grilling.
- Make sure your grill is at the right temperature. Medium/high heat is best. If you can hold the palm of your hand over the grill for four seconds or so, it’s about right.
- Place steaks on the grill, turning them only once using tongs or spatula. Don’t use any utensil that will pierce the meat and allow juices to escape.
- Use a meat thermometer to determine the temperature of your steak:
- Rare 120-130 degrees Cooked outside, cold center
- Medium Rare 130 – 135 degrees Cooked outside, pink inside, cool center
- Medium 140 – 150 degrees Warm center, pink throughout
- Medium Well 155-165 degrees Thoroughly cooked, thin pink center
- Well 170+ degrees Thoroughly cooked, no pink anywhere
If you do not have a meat thermometer, use these times as a guide for a medium done steak (average cooking time depends on cut, thickness, and grill temperature):
| 16 oz Filet | 2-1/2” | 19-24 minutes |
|---|---|---|
| 12 oz. Ribeye | 1” | 11-14 minutes |
| 26 oz T-Bone | 1-1/2” | 14-19 minutes |
| 20 oz Strip | 2-1/2” | 19-24 minutes |
| 28 oz Top Sirloin | 1” | 11-14 minutes |
Not Ready to Grill Right Away?
Here’s how to properly freeze Rube’s Steaks:
Keep the steaks in their air tight vacuum packed seals and place them in the freezer individually, not in the box. When you’re ready, defrost them by:
- Keeping steaks in their air tight vacuum packed seals
- Placing them in the refrigerator for 24 hours
- If you need them sooner, place them in cold water (below 40 degrees) until thawed – changing the water frequently to keep the temperature below 40 degrees.
- WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THAWING IN THE MICROWAVE!
