Tips and Tricks for Grilling the perfect steak:

1. Choose your steak of choice

Thick cut steaks consist of:

   Ribeye: This steak is. well marbled and full of flavor. It comes from the middle of the cow in the ribs section. It has high fat content which gives it extra flavor. You will need to trim the fat to avoid flare-ups. Strip Steak: Also known as New York Strip Steak, it is tender and a little chewy coming from the rear of the cow. This is my steak of choice and easy to grill with no potential flare-ups. T-Bone: Shaped like a T, it brings together two steaks. The tenderloin and a chewier strip steak.

Thin Cut Steaks Consist of:

   Flank Steak:  This steak comes from the belly of the cow and is rich in flavor. Always serve the flank steak sliced and cut against the grain. Hanger Steak: This comes from the belly of the cow, the part of the cow that hangs down. It has a strong beefy flavor and is great for marinating. Skirt Steak: The skirt comes from the diaphragm of the cow. It is a thin cut with plenty of fat and works well with a high heat searing. Should. also be sliced against the grain.

2. Marinate the steak

You can season or marinate the steak before grilling. My steak marinade is perfect for making the steak full of flavor and juicy. Prepare the steak marinade and allow the steak to marinate for two hours or overnight. Take the steaks out of the fridge and let rest at least 20 minutes before grilling so they aren’t chilled.

How to grill a thin steak

When grilling steak that is 1 ½ inches in thickness or less, the best way to get the perfect char on the outside and desired doneness in the center is to sear over direct heat. You simply grill. the steak over the direct heat until it reaches the desired temperature, flipping it about every minute. This will ensure that the surface gets nice and golden brown and that the middle won’t cook too quickly. Take the steak off of the grill once it reaches the desired temperature and let it rest 5 minutes before serving.

How to grill a thick steak

When grilling steak that is 1 ½ inches thick or more, the best way to get the perfect char on the outside and desired doneness in the center is to do the reverse sear. You will cool the steak until it is almost done over indirect heat, then move it to the hotter direct-heat section of the grill for the final sear. You will want to make sure the indirect heat section of the grill is around 225 degrees F. Then add the steak to the cooler part and cover the grill.

It so far exceeded any steak I had had up to that point that it has become a legend. Now, as a (much) older adult, I like grilling steaks on the back patio with my husband, having a beer, eating boiled peanuts, and talking, while we wait for the charcoal fire to come up. In other words, the steak is great; but I like the ritual, too. Comment * Name * Email * Website
