HOW TO GRILL STEAK:

First, I put about 100 charcoal briquets (I like Kingsford model) right into a chimney starter. You don’t want any lighter fluid and it takes about 10-Quarter-hour for the coals to prepare.

Put a balled up piece of newspaper into the underside of the chimney after which mild the newspaper in a number of spots. The chimney and coals will do the remaining. I’ve a half propane/half charcoal grill. So I take advantage of the fuel aspect to mild up my chimney. As soon as the hearth reaches the highest of the briquets, they’re prepared! It is a good time to prep your steaks. Take them out of the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature.

Rigorously pour the coals onto one aspect of the grill (this can create two zones: one for direct cooking and one for oblique cooking.)

This two zone heating is ideal for any flareups (you’ll be able to simply transfer the meat over to get it off the excessive warmth) however it additionally helps create these fairly grill marks!

charcoal briquets will turn grey when ready.

Time to place the steaks on! Grill both sides for about 2-3 minutes every. Then place them onto the other aspect of the grill the place you didn’t place any coals.

At this level, I take the temperature of the steaks. 145F levels is a medium-cooked steak. Should you like them extra well-done, then enable them to prepare dinner over the oblique warmth for a number of extra minutes till the specified temperature is reached.

Take the steaks off the grill and permit them to relaxation for about 5 minutes. Pop a slice of your selfmade steak butter on prime and permit it to soften because the steak rests. Then serve it up with my favourite Potato Packets and a Caesar Salad.
