5 Easy BBQ Steak Recipes Perfect for Summer Grilling

Blog • June 16th 2025

There's nothing quite like the smell of a BBQ on a warm summer day-especially when a juicy steak is involved. For your next BBQ, we've rounded up five simple but seriously tasty BBQ steak recipes that are perfect for summer and will leave a great impression on all those who attend.

From crowd-pleasers like sirloin to the show-stopping tomahawk, these recipes are all about big flavour, minimal effort, and making the most of the season.

Choosing the Right Steak for the BBQ

Not all steaks are created equal when it comes to the barbecue. The best ones tend to be well-marbled, thick-cut, and packed with flavour-ideal for getting that golden crust without drying out.

A few cuts we love for summer grilling include sirloin, ribeye, T-bone, hanger, tomahawk, and the underrated club steak. Each has its own character, from tender fillets to bold, beefy chops.

Check out our full range of beef steaks and chops or go straight for the club steak or the 45-day dry-aged T-bone, both perfect for the grill.

Don't Skip the Rubs and Marinades

A great steak is even better with the right seasoning. Whether you're a fan of smoky, spicy or something a little sweet, a good rub or marinade brings out the best in your BBQ beef steak.

If you're short on time, a dry rub is your best friend. Try our Asado Steak BBQ Rub for a smoky, Argentinian-inspired kick, or the Cocoa, Coffee & Smoked Chilli Rub for something richer and more intense.

Top tip: Let your steak sit for at least 30 minutes after seasoning so the flavours can work their magic.

5 Summer Steak Recipes Worth Firing Up the Grill For

Here's the fun part-five easy recipes that'll take your summer BBQ game to the next level.

1. BBQ Hanger Steak Baguette with Garlic Butter

Bold, juicy and full of flavour, this hanger steak baguette is a must for any BBQ lover. The garlic butter melts into the steak beautifully-add a cold drink and you've got summer sorted.

2. Tomahawk Steak on the Barbecue

If you're out to impress, the tomahawk steak is the one. Big flavour, big bones, and even bigger reactions when it hits the table.

3. BBQ Spice-Rubbed Beef Chop

An absolute classic. This spice-rubbed chop brings together smoky spices and a juicy sirloin-style chop, great for midweek BBQs when you want something quick but satisfying.

4. Fillet Medallions with Charred Broccoli & Stilton

After something a little more refined? Fillet steak medallions with charred veg and Stilton is a proper treat, but still easy to pull off on the grill.

5. Steak & Eggs with Red Pepper

Steak for brunch? Why not. This BBQ take on steak and eggs is hearty, smoky, and pairs brilliantly with a fresh summer salsa.

BBQ Steak Tips for Perfect Results

Want steak that's charred on the outside and juicy in the middle? Here are a few easy tips to get it right every time:

  • Let your steak come to room temperature before grilling
  • Get the grill really hot for that perfect sear
  • Clean and oil your grill grates beforehand
  • Don't skip the resting time, 5 to 10 minutes makes a big difference
  • And finally, start with high-quality meat
