Ingredients

  • 4 1 1/2 inch New York strip steaks (about 10-12 ounces each)
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly 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.
