Just before cooking, season your steak with salt and pepper.
2 Grill Prep
Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets
Method: Direct-Heat Grilling
Temp: 400°F (Medium Heat)
Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:
• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds
Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
3 The Cook
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
- Place your steak on the grill and cook to your desired doneness. Brush each side with butter and lime juice. The USDA recommends cooking steak until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F on a digital meat thermometer.
Remove your steak from the grill and allow it to rest for 3 minutes. Slice your steak against the grain or serve it whole and top it with your chimichurri as desired.
** Cooking times are approximate and based on a 1” steak, including sear time.
