Use a meat thermometer and pull the steak once it’s about 5°F below your target temp. It continues to cook as it rests.
Should I oil the grill or the steak?
Oil the steak. It helps the seasonings stick and reduces flare-ups.
What’s the best cut for a perfectly grilled steak?
Ribeye is king for flavor, but New York Strip is a solid leaner option.
Do I need to flip steak multiple times while grilling?
No. One good flip is enough to develop a crust and retain juices.
Can I grill steak indoors?
Yes, with a cast iron skillet. Get it screaming hot and sear as you would on a grill.
