How to Grill the Perfect Steak

CHILL OUT

Remove thawed meat from the refrigerator and let rest at room temperatures for at least 30 minutes before cooking

 

READY, SET SEAR!

Pre-heat your Gas or Charcoal Grill: Sear over high heat EACH SIDE for 1 minute with the lid closed. Then transfer steak to indirect heat OR reduce heat to low. Close lid and cook according to the times and temperatures below. Steaks will continue to rise in temperature 5 to 10 degrees while at rest after grilling.

 

GIVE IT A REST

Always let steaks rest 5 minutes before slicing.
