1. Choose the right cut: Opt for a tender cut like ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon.
2. Don’t overmarinate: Marinate for 2-4 hours, but not overnight, to avoid overpowering the steak.
3. Use fresh garlic: Mince fresh garlic for the best flavor, rather than using pre-minced or garlic powder.
4. Mix with olive oil: Combine garlic with olive oil for a rich, savory flavor.
5. Add herbs and spices: Mix in herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley, and spices like paprika or black pepper.
6. Let it come to room temperature: Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling.
7. Grill to the right temperature: Cook to your desired level of doneness, using a meat thermometer.

9. Let it rest: Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
10. Slice against the grain: Slice the steak against the grain for a tender, easy-to-chew texture.
