Instructions on how to cook steak on the grill
Seasoning steak
Steaks are naturally flavorful, so you don’t need to use too many spices. You can choose from your favorite spice blend that you prefer, or just use pepper and salt. Make sure you always have salt in the mix, though; salt tenderizes the meat and allows other seasonings to penetrate the steak.
In a medium bowl, add the seasonings and season the steaks, coating all the sides and pressing the spices into the meat, and coat them properly. Chill the steaks, uncovered, for an hour or up to 24 hours.
Let the steaks come to room temperature and dry the surface
Take the steak out of the fridge about 30 minutes to an hour before cooking. Blot them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture, leaving as much seasoning on as possible. Let the meat settle at room temperature for up to one hour before cooking.
Preheat and get ready to grill
Now, how to grill steak: preheat a charcoal or gas grill with a double zone fire. This makes it easy to handle indirect and direct heat zones on the grill.
Over medium heat, place the steak and allow it to cook slowly, keeping the surface from drying and burning before the inside reaches the required temperature.
When it reaches 80°F, flip the steak so it cooks nicely on both sides
Move the steak to high heat
Most people wonder how long to grill steak?. We shall answer you; Allow the meat to reach 110°F, move the steaks to the direct heat side. Steak rub until the meat reaches the right level of doneness. Flip the steak frequently to get a golden-brown, crisp exterior.
Rest, then slice your delicious grilled steak
Transfer the steaks to a cutting board or plate and let them relax for at least 5 minutes before you slice. Make ensures the juices will redistribute within the meat instead of spilling out onto the chopping board. When the steak has relaxed, slice it against the grain and serve it with any vegetables
