Steakhouse Style New York Strip Steak

Ingredients

• 2 New York strip steaks
• 1 Tablespoon Kosher salt
• black pepper (to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Dry brine the strip steaks. 60 minutes prior to grilling, remove your steaks from the refrigerator, season on both sides with the coarse salt, and allow to come up in temperature.

2. 2

   Preheat the grill. Preheat your grill to High heat. You're looking for temperatures around 900 degrees F on the grill grates, NOT the overall grill temperature.

3. 3

   Grill the steaks. After 60 minutes, your steaks should have dissolved most of the salt crystals. Wipe off the remaining salt and liquid so your steaks are very dry. Place the steaks directly on the grill grates at a diagonal. For a medium rare steak, cook 2-3 minutes, then rotate 45 degrees and grill for 2-3 more minutes.

4. 4

   Finish grilling the steaks to your preferred doneness. Flip the steaks over, cook 2-3 minutes, then rotate 45 degrees and grill for 2-3 more minutes. Increase or decrease cooking time as needed to reach ideal internal doneness. For a medium rare steak, cook to 135 degrees F (refer to the temperature section of this cookbook for more options).

5. 5

   Rest the steaks before slicing and eating. Let the steaks rest for at least 8-10 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with the black pepper just before serving.
