Our Grill Method

  • Heat your gas grill to about 600 F.
  • Place steaks on grill for amount of time according to your preference. (see cooking chart above)
  • Turn when they’re brown on the outside (usually after a few minutes). Brown on the second side.
  • Check for desired doneness. (I always remove the steak when it’s one level below the way I like it, example: if you like medium-well take steak off the grill when it looks medium.) Here’s why, it will continue to cook as it rests. This is important, you don’t want to skip this step! Remember, you can always throw it back on the grill and cook it more, but you can’t undo overcooked!
  • Cover loosely with foil to let the meat rest, continue cooking and seal in juices.
