How to cook and good marinaded steak on the grill?

Answer 1

Pre-heat BBQ grill on high.
Marinate steaks for at least 4 hours, overnight better.
Else brush steak with oil, sprinkle spices on steak, if used.
Place steaks on grill for 5 minutes per side for medium.
Less time, if thinner than 1", or for a rarer finish.

Answer 2

I prefer a good rib eye. I would not marinade a good steak. What you should do is tenderize it (just put it on a cutting board and poke it with a fork on both sides), then rub it down with salt (use Celtic grey sea salt), fresh ground black pepper and cumin seed. Rub it very hard so that the spices are actually impressed into the meat. Then put them into a plastic bag and keep them in the fridge for at lease 2 hours but no more than 2 days. Take them out and put them on the counter for about half an hour before you cook them. They will be tenderer if you put them on the grill at room temp rather than cold. Brush the steaks lightly with olive oil (cold pressed is the best)

Set your grill to high heat and use some of the fat you cut from the edges of the steaks (leave a thin edge of fat, about 1/8”, to help lock in the juice) to coat the grill. To do this just grab some fat with tongs or a fork and rub it on the hot grill until it melts.

Put your steaks on for about 7 mins for medium doneness, turning once. Watch for flare-ups, it they happen move the steaks to indirect heat on another part of the grill. While they are cooking make the spread:

The best way to cook a great steak is to use a butter spread. Here are a few ideas.

1/2 stick butter
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 cloves fresh crushed garlic
3-4 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese (You can use gorgonzola if you don't like blue)

Put the butter and cheese in the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften them, add the garlic and black pepper and them mash it all together with a fork.

Another spread that is a big favorite of mine is to substitute the cheese for sun dried tomatoes and an 1/8 tsp of crushed red pepper (cayenne pepper).

When your steaks come off, immeadtly slather one side with the butter spread. Wait about 5 min before you eat so it has time to sink in.

When we make steaks we usually make green beans and twice baked sweet potatoes. To make the potatoes bake them like you would regular potatoes (I cheat and use the microwave) then cut then in half and scoop out all of the potatoes being careful not to damage the skin because you will fill it up later. Then add 1 stick of butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar and a small handful of mini marshmallows and mix it up. Put the filling back inside the potato skins and cover the top with marshmallows. Bake on 350 for 3-5 min or until the marshmallows turn brown on the top.

This meal goes great with a good red wine. I recommend Stag's leap Petit Syrah or Le Crema Pinot Noir.

ENJOY!!

It depends on the thickness of your stake. If your stake is 1" thick, make sure your grill is hot, cook 5 minutes on each side, and if possible marinade over night. Thinner 2-3 minutes.

I marinate mine in Kraft Balsamic vignette salad dressing. Allow the steak to become room temperature. Place on preheated grill. Sear on both sides without turning (insure that the juice's stay in the steak) cook until desired taste. I like mine meduim rare so I turn once after searing. About 4 minutes on each side.

I use hickory or mesquite wood chips that I soak in water prior to putting over charcoal once charcoal grays.... turn steak often and cook to desired doness. med rare to medium done is best for ranges for flavor.
