How to Grill Steak
Description
The method begins by letting steaks come to room temperature and drying them to ensure even cooking and good surface browning. They are seasoned with salt and pepper, then brushed with avocado oil to prevent sticking and encourage searing. Grilling over high heat with the lid open allows direct heat to form a crust, cooking the first side for about 4 minutes without disturbance.
After flipping, the steaks cook 2 to 4 more minutes depending on desired doneness, aiming for 130°F internal temperature for medium-rare or 140°F for medium-well. Carryover cooking during the resting period increases temperature by about 5 degrees. Placing unsalted butter atop and tenting with foil during a 5-minute rest lets juices evenly distribute, locking in moisture and tenderness.
This straightforward technique produces steaks with crisp seared exteriors and juicy, evenly cooked centers suited for slicing and serving immediately. It focuses on timing, heat management, and simple seasoning rather than complex marinades or sauces.
Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steak about 1- 1 ½ in thickness, or New York Strip steak
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
Instructions
- Allow the steaks to come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Then pat them dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper and brush with oil on both sides.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat. Place the steaks on the grill and cook with the lid open for 4 minutes on one side without touching.
- Use tongs to flip the steaks and cook for 2-4 more minutes on the other side, depending on desired level of doneness (130°F for medium rare or 140°F for medium well), keeping in mind that the temperature will continue to rise about 5 degrees after you remove from heat and the steaks rest.
- Transfer the steaks to a plate or cutting board, add the butter on top and tent with aluminum foil, if desired. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
Notes
- Allow steaks to come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
