Tips from Ryan Maya Cooks’s video
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove moisture, which helps achieve a nice hard sear and browning.
- Season the steak liberally with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, ensuring it is completely covered.
- Preheat your grill to high heat, around 550°F, to get that perfect sear when the steak is placed on it.
- After 2 minutes and 30 seconds, check for grill marks before turning the steak slightly to create crosshatch marks.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; aim for 115°F before removing it from the grill, as it will carry over to 120°F while resting.
