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!
