How to Grill a Perfect Steak

Step 1

Clean grill and turn grill temperature up to High Heat (450-550 degrees F).

Step 2

Sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of steak and set aside until grilling is hot (you can also marinate them!).

Step 3

Place steaks over direct heat and close grill.  Let sear for 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Flip steaks, keeping them over direct heat, and close the lid. Let cook another 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Open grill and take internal temperature of the steaks by sticking an internal meat thermometer into the side of the steak.  If steak hasn’t reached your desired internal temperature (see Notes) then move steak to indirect heat (I usually just turn off my middle burner and move the steaks there) until they do reach your desired temperature.

Step 6

Remove steaks from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving/cutting.

Step 7

We love serving our grilled steak with this homemade Herbed Butter or these Sautéed Mushroom and Onions!
