Summer is coming to an end! If you have recently moved to Atlanta with your family and your local Atlanta moving company has already finished unpacking all of your belongings, try throwing a barbecue for a fun and casual way to meet your neighbors.

Atlanta chef Tony Mann recently gave Atlanta Magazine tips for grilling ribeye steaks this summer. According to Mann, ribeye steaks are one of the best, if not the best, cuts of meat out there. A ribeye has the perfect combination of meat and fat to add rich flavor and tenderness; however, if prepped poorly, they do not live up to their potential.

Mann’s prepping and ribeye grilling tips are as follows:

• Unwrap the meat and let it sit out on the counter at room temperature for at least 10 minutes
• Season with salt and pepper
• Grill with a charcoal and wood combo
• Don’t press down on the steaks while grilling
• Finish the steak with garlic-thyme butter

Some may question why they should let the ribeye sit out for 10 minutes – a process that Mann calls “breathing.” The Atlanta top chef explains that unwrapping ribeye steaks is “like opening a fine wine, you need to let it breathe.”

Atlanta movers suggest grilling your steaks to the texture of your liking, but Mann says that a total of 10 minutes is ideal. He suggests grilling the ribeye at 45 degrees for 2 ½ minutes, then rotating to 90 degrees for 2 ½ minutes, then rotating to 45 degrees again for another 2 ½ minutes, and finally rotating to 45 degrees again, for another 2 ½ minutes.

Needless to say, once everyone gets a whiff of the delicious steaks being grilled, you will not be able to keep your neighbors away!
