Directions
Instructions for Grilling Steak
- Light charcoal in grill. Once fully lit, push to one side of the grill creating a 'Hot side' and a 'Cold Side'. If using a gas grill, set the grill to medium high temperature.
- Melt butter in a small sauce pot with herb bouquet and set aside.
- Allow steak to come to room temperature. Pat the steak dry and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the steak on the hot side of the grill to sear and get nice grill marks. Flip and repeat.
- Once the steak has good color, place on the cold side of the grill for 3-6 minutes with the lid closed, flipping halfway through, to finish cooking.
- Cook to desired temperature (See Temperature Chart) place the steak on a platter and pour some melted butter over it. Let rest 8-10 minutes before slicing.
- Finish the sliced steak with coarse sea salt and serve with your favorite steak sauce.
Instructions for Pan Searing
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Allow steak to come to room temperature. Pat the steak dry, brush with some olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet with a few tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until the oil begins to shimmer and smoke.
- Place the steak in the pan and sear for about 3-5 minutes until a nice dark brown even sear is achieved.
- Flip the steak and place the entire pan into the oven to roast for about 12-15 minutes or until you have reached an internal temperature of 115-125 degrees.
- Pull the pan out of the oven and discard the fat in the pan. Place the steak and the pan back onto the stove top over medium heat and place a knob of butter and some fresh woody herbs (thyme, rosemary) into the pan. Baste the steak until desired temperature is reached by inserting an instant read thermometer into it.
- Remove the steak from the pan and place onto a platter. Pour the butter over the steak and let rest for 8-10 minutes before slicing.
- Finish the sliced steak with coarse sea salt and serve with your favorite steak sauce.
