Today on The Stay At Home Chef I'm showing you
How to Grill Steak Perfectly Every Time
I'll be covering both the traditional method for grilling steak
as well as the reverse sear.
To start you'll need some steak.
You want to buy one that's about 2 inches thick
Today I'm using Ribeye but this method will also work with any other cut of steak.
So you can use like a New York strip steak, a T-bone, a Ribeye like this....
really any steak will work.
You want to brush your steak with a little bit of oil on both sides
Now steak is sold in different grades of beef so you can get
select, choice, or prime.
And let me tell you, it's worth the
extra few dollars to get at least choice grade beef, if not prime.
Now I season my steaks with just salt and pepper.
So you'll want about 2 teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
Then stir this all together.
I like to pre-mix it before placing it on my steak
Then we'll generously, very generously season both sides of each of our steaks
You want to get a good coating of that simple rub of salt and pepper on there.
With a good piece of beef salt and pepper is really all that you need
Let the steaks sit at room temperature like this for about 30 minutes
Meanwhile, for the traditional method you'll want to get an outdoor grill heating to high,
smokin' hot heat.
Sear your steak for about 2-3 minutes per side.
So you'll put it on the grill and close the lid.
Then after about 2-3 minutes open the lid back up and we'll flip our steak.
Now once that other side has had a chance to sear for 2-3 minutes
you'll want to reduce the heat to low to let it finish cooking.
Now how long it will take for your steak to finish cooking
depends on how done you want your steak, how thick it is, things like that
so I'll give you a little handy dandy chart to help you out
but it's important to use a meat thermometer to ensure 100% accuracy.
Now for a reverse sear you want to start it over low heat.
So you'll want one side low heat and the other side high heat.
And of course for the reverse sear you'll want to close the lid and let it cook.
Now once your steak reaches an internal temperature of about 110 degrees
you'll want to move it to the hot side to let it sear.
And once again, it's about a 2-3 minute sear per side.
Once the steaks come off the grill and reach temp
you'll want to top them with a tablespoon of butter each
and tent them loosely with aluminum foil
The aluminum foil will help keep the steaks warm as they rest
You want to let them rest for about 5 minutes so that
the meat has a chance to re-absorb some of the juices
And then, you're ready to eat!
Perfect steak every single time!
You really need to get yourself a meat thermometer, it makes all of the difference.
