Learn all of my tips and tricks for grilling New York Strip Steak! Cook it on a gas or charcoal grill, or a pellet smoker. This steak is juicy, flavorful, and tender!
41 1/2 inchNew York strip steaks (about 10-12 ounces each)
2Tablespoons olive oil
2teaspoonsKosher Salt
1teaspoonfreshly ground black pepper
Instructions
30 minutes before grilling remove steaks from the refrigerator and let rest at room temperature.
Preheat the grill, or smoker, to 425 degrees.
Pat steaks dry with a paper towel. This helps them to get a nice crust.
Brush a thin coat of olive oil on both sides of the steaks.
Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper. Although I recommend a generous seasoning you can adjust the amount to your taste.
Set steaks on the preheated grill or smoker. Grill for 4-5 minutes. Flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until the desired doneness. I really recommend cooking steaks to the desired temperature rather than cooking them for a certain amount of time. See the cooking chart in the Notes section.
Remove steaks from the grill when they are 3-5 minutes away from the desired temperature. Set a small slice of butter on each steak. Cover with foil. Rest for 10 minutes.
Notes
Any beef seasoning will work for this recipe instead of salt and pepper. 1 1/2 inch thickness is my favorite because it's thick enough that the inside has a chance to cook to the desired temperature before the outside is overdone.
