How to GRILL a steak
I can't stand seeing these steaks pan-fried, so here's my go:
1) Take your 14 - 18 oz. New York Strip steaks. As everyone else, add a pinch of sea-salt and pepper to each side. Add a splash of Worchestershire sauce (do not marinade!) and garlic if desired.
2) Allow steaks to sit while bringing grill up to temperature. Keep the lid closed and keep at high heat until no more smoke comes off. Hit gently with a wire brush.
3) Place steaks at 45-degree angles to the iron.
4) Leaving lid open, grill on HIGH heat for 4 - 6 minutes or until meat no longer sticks to the grill.
5) Flip steaks in same position, maintaining the 45-degree angle to the iron.
6) Again, 4 - 6 minutes with lid open on high heat. We should just start to see the fat dripping off the sides now.
7) Flip steaks again, this time switching positions of the steaks and rotating 90-degrees from original position. This will define the "diamond" pattern grill marks and also ensure both steaks don't have "hot spots".
8) Decision: Rare meat - medium rare, leave lid open. Medium - medium well, close lid. In this case we're going for rare (lid open).
Allow to cook for about 1/2 the time it took to do the initial turns, then flip steaks, close lid, and turn grill OFF.
Don't worry, they will still cook inside the grill for a few minutes as the fat drips off and catches flame on its own.
10) Remove from heat and allow to sit while the rest of the dish is being prepared.
11) Carve in and decide if they're done enough or not.
12) Get a healthy dose of mashed spuds and serve up!
Enjoy!
