How To Grill a Steak

Here's How:

1. Let the steak reach room temperature.
2. Trim the steak of excess fat. Strips of fat should only be 1/4 inch thick.
3. Wash in clean water.
4. Season to your liking. Some fresh cracked pepper, garlic powder, whatever you like.
5. Preheat grill. Gas grill on high or a single layer of white coals for charcoal.
6. Oil the grate.
7. Place steak on grill and close the lid for one minute.
8. Lift lid and turn steak over. Close lid and continue grilling for another minute.
9. Turn again and continue for 2 plus 1 minute per 1/2 inch (1 1/2 inch equals 5 minutes).
10. Turn for the forth time and continue grilling for 2 plus 1 minute per 1/2 inch.
11. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer.
12. Let steak rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

1. To oil the grill you can hold a piece of steak fat in a pair of tongs and rub it over the hot grate.
2. 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
