Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time40 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 1 2 of your favorite cuts of steak
  • 1 2 tablespoons lightly cracked black pepper
  • 1 1 tablespoon kosher or sea salt

Instructions

  • Using a pepper-mill on the largest setting or using a plastic bag and a heavy pan, lightly crack the black pepper. Season each steak with ½ tbsp of kosher salt. Cover with the cracked pepper and press in firmly.
  • Let the steaks sit for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator before grilling. 3-4 hours is better. Remove from refrigerator at least 15 minutes before grilling.
  • Pre-heat grill to medium/high to high heat. You want the grates searing hot.
  • Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 5–8 minutes on each side depending on thickness and desired doneness. The best test is to check the temperature using a Thermoworks MK4 instant-read thermometer.
  • Once the steak has reached your desired done-ness remove it from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Equipment: Grill, Thermoworks MK4 thermometer. Serve with a dirty martini and some potatoes and you have a perfect meal for a nice December day.
