Grilled Steak
Description
This recipe for Grilled Steak focuses on preparing prime cuts of beef by seasoning them with kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper. After resting to bring the steaks to room temperature, they are grilled over high heat to develop a seared crust while maintaining the internal doneness level chosen. Applying neutral oil to the grill grates helps prevent sticking and promotes even cooking. Flipping the steak after a few minutes on each side ensures balanced cooking.
The final step of topping the steak with butter and allowing it to rest covered for at least 5 minutes enhances flavor and tenderness by allowing juices to redistribute. The recipe notes recommend using an instant-read thermometer inserted from the side to check doneness ranging from rare to well done by internal temperatures between 120°F and 160°F. This method yields consistently cooked steaks suited for serving alongside typical steak accompaniments.
The simplicity of seasoning and classical grilling technique heightens the natural beef flavor without adding complexity, making it a fundamental recipe for steak enthusiasts seeking a reliably cooked steak.
