Grilled Strip Steak On A Gas Grill Food

GRILLED STRIP STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high. Brush the grill with a wire grill brush to remove any soot and fat on the grill grates. Wipe the grill grate with an oiled cloth to remove any bits of crud that were loosened by brushing.
• Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature. Season the steaks generously with salt and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
• Arrange the steaks on the hottest part of the grill until beautiful brown grill marks form, then rotate the steaks 90 degrees to create the crosshatch marks.
• Turn the steaks over and repeat the process. Once the grill marks have formed on the second side, move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill and let cook to the desired doneness. Cook about 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

HOW TO GRILL STRIP STEAK ON A GAS GRILL

Steps:

• If possible, rest the steaks at room temperature for about 1 hour, allowing the steaks to come to room temperature. But, as little as 15 minutes will help.
• Trim the beef of extra fat to prevent "flare-ups" that will burn your steak.
• It is best to apply salt and pepper at the start of the resting period. Just before starting to grill is OK if you skip the rest or forget. Use coarse salt and pepper. I used my 7:2:2, which is kosher salt: pepper: garlic.
• Preheat your grill to as hot as it will go. Clean and oil well. Do not use olive oil here due to the low smoke point.
• Place strip steaks on the grill over direct heat. Closed lid. Grill for five minutes on the first side. If you want crossed grill marks, you should rotate the meat 90 degrees after the first 2 1/2 minutes. Flip at 5 minutes.
• Grill for approximately three additional minutes for rare, about 4 minutes for medium-rare, and 5 minutes for medium. Your time will vary with the thickness of the steaks and the grill. Never cook by time only-always cook to a target internal temperature.
• During the post-cooking rest, your temperature will rise a few degrees, so cook to 3-4 degrees less-lightly tent with foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

PERFECTLY GRILLED STEAK

Steps:

• About 20 minutes before grilling, remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let sit, covered, at room temperature.
• Heat your grill to high. Brush the steaks on both sides with oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the grill and cook until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the steaks over and continue to grill 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare (an internal temperature of 135 degrees F), 5 to 7 minutes for medium (140 degrees F) or 8 to 10 minutes for medium-well (150 degrees F).
• Transfer the steaks to a cutting board or platter, tent loosely with foil and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
