Grilling A Steak Dad’s Way

Instructions

1. Always start with a quality cut of beef choice grade or better (prime or aged), check for marbling, the more, the better. Thickness 1” – 1¼” (mine were always 1¼”)
2. Remove steaks from refrigerator and allow them to sit for approximately 1 hour to come to room temperature.
3. Be sure cut is even so steak cooks evenly
4. Cut off excess fat to prevent flare-ups
5. Rub with “Denny’s Steak Seasoning”
6. Preheat grill as high as it will go, 500 degrees + is best
7. Place steaks on grill
8. Always use tongs to flip steaks, NO FORKS!
9. Allow steak to cook thoroughly on first side down to lock in juices but not to burn. (Watch for extended flare ups.)
10. Do the same on the second side
11. After a slight crust is formed on each side turn frequently changing direction each time of steak on the grill.
12. The safest way to have your steak cooked as you like it is to use a digital meat thermometer. Removing steaks when the thermometer reads around 135 degrees will result in steaks cooked medium, 130 degrees medium rare, and 125 degrees rare.
13. If you don’t have a meat thermometer, for a 1” steak, cook approximately a total of 6 minutes on the first side, and 4 minutes on the second side for medium to medium rare.
14. After removing the steaks from the grill, allow 5 minutes for steaks to sit before serving.
