💭 Expert Tips
- Buy steaks of similar thickness this will make it easier to estimate your time. Steaks that are approximately 1 to 1½" thick work great.
- For best results, salt and pepper steaks 12 to 24 hours ahead of grilling. Use kosher salt.
- Feel free to use garlic, diced fresh herbs, or another favorite seasoning at the time you season with salt and pepper. You may even use a marinade. The key is to season with salt and marinate 24 hours prior to grilling.
- Allow steaks to sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes (up to 1 hour) prior to grilling.
- The ideal temperature to grill steaks is between 450 and 550 degrees.
- Spray any flame flare-ups with water.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to test doneness. Pull your steaks off the grill at the low end of the range. For example, if you like your steak medium-rare pull your steak off at 130° F.
- As soon as steaks are removed from the grill, set on a platter, then tent with foil. Allow to steaks to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. The internal temperature of the steak will continue to increase for a few minutes. The juices will also reabsorb.
