Grilling the perfect steak is easy. Be patient and remember that timing is everything.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 15 minutes
Here's How:
- Let the steak reach room temperature.
- Trim the steak of excess fat. Strips of fat should only be 1/4 inch thick.
- Wash in clean water.
- Season to your liking. Some fresh cracked pepper, garlic powder, whatever you like.
- Preheat grill. Gas grill on high or a single layer of white coals for charcoal.
- Oil the grate.
- Place steak on grill and close the lid for one minute.
- Lift lid and turn steak over. Close lid and continue grilling for another minute.
- Turn again and continue for 2 plus 1 minute per 1/2 inch (1 1/2 inch equals 5 minutes).
- Turn for the forth time and continue grilling for 2 plus 1 minute per 1/2 inch.
- Check for doneness with a meat thermometer.
- Let steak rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- To oil the grill you can hold a piece of steak fat in a pair of tongs and rub it over the hot grate.
- Letting the steak rest before you eat it is an important trick. This allows the juices to seep throughout the meat and gives you a much more flavorful steak.
What You Need:
- A Good Meat Thermometer
