Grilling Tips for Steaks

GrillingTips for Steaks

PREP STEAKS

1. Allow steaks to come to room temperature prior to grilling.  This allows for even cooking.
2. Season meat is you wish.  We suggest keeping it simple with light distribution of salt, pepper and garlic.

 

PREP GRILL

1. Pre-Heat Grill.  

 

Gas Grill- set on high to allow grill to reach high temperature.  Wait approximately 10- 15 minutes after lighting.

 

Charcoal Grill-  Grill is ready once coals are red hot with presence of white ash.

 

GRILL STEAKS

1. Sear steaks on grill for 2 minutes.  This helps seal in the steaks juices.  After searing, turn down grill ( gas grill) or move to indirect heat (charcoal grill).
2. Continue to cook steaks.  Once droplets of blood or juices form on top of steak it is time to turn steaks (approximately 6- 9 minutes for 2” steak).  Do not pierce meat with fork or knife.  This will cause flavorful juices to purge.  Use a spatula or tongs to turn steaks.
3. Cook meat until desired doneness.  

Medium Rare- Cool, reddish pink center (or 145° F)

Medium- Warm pink center (or 160°F).

1. Remove steaks from the grill and place a pat of butter on each steak.  Allow them to rest for 3- 5 minutes before serving.   This allows juices to return to center of meat as meat tightens while cooking. 

 

** Bone-In steaks (ie:  Cowboy Cut or Porterhouse) will take longer to cook than boneless steaks.
