Take note
Always exercise caution when working with an open flame and hot grill. Make sure to follow proper food safety practices and cook the steak to the recommended internal temperature. Hot grills can cause burns, so be careful when handling the steak and the grill.

1

Preparation

Start by preparing your steak. Take it out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature. This will ensure even cooking. Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

2

Seasoning

Season the steak generously with salt and black pepper. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder or your favorite steak rub. Don't be shy with the seasoning, as it will enhance the flavor of the steak.

3

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will give you a nice sear on the steak while still allowing it to cook evenly.

4

Oil the Grill

Using tongs, dip a folded paper towel in vegetable oil and rub it over the grates of the grill. This will prevent the steak from sticking and create beautiful grill marks.

5

Grilling

Place the steak on the grill and close the lid. Let it cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Then, flip the steak using tongs and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side. This will give you a medium-rare steak. Adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of doneness.

6

Resting

Once the steak is cooked to your liking, transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and results in a more tender and flavorful steak.
