I love a good grilled steak, some mashed potatoes, and a good glass of Pinot Noir. But there is nothing worse than steak that isn’t cooked correctly, since it will ruin the entire meal. And it’s a waste of a perfectly good piece of meat. So here are a few tips to help you have that perfectly grilled steak.
1. Bring your steaks to room temperature before cooking.
2. Preheat your grill to maximum temperature.
3. Generously season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
4. Place the steaks 3 to 5 inches from the flame and sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side.
5. Reduce the heat to moderately hot and continue cooking till desired doneness.
6. Do not cut into the meat to check if it is done.
7. Cooking times depend on the thickness of the steak. But for every inch it takes 10 minutes to reach medium-rare.
8. Let the meat rest 5-10 minutes, depending again on thickness before cutting and/or serving.
