Tips:

  • Use high-quality steak: The best cut of steak for grilling is one that is well-marbled, meaning it has a good amount of fat running through it. This will help the steak stay juicy and flavorful while cooking.
  • Season the steak well: Before grilling, be sure to season the steak generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the steak.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: The best way to achieve a perfectly cooked steak is to cook it over high heat. This will help to sear the outside of the steak, while leaving the inside juicy and tender.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the steak is cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. The USDA recommends cooking steak to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the steak rest before serving: After grilling, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
