A new grill.

So, my fiancee got this grill for her birthday.

We had been wanting one, and this was a gift.

She wants to cook a couple of steaks on it tomorrow night, and was wondering if anybody has suggestions on the best way to go about it. I know I can look up advice on difference websites, but have noticed a lot of people here know exactly what they are doing around a grill. Any help would be appreciated. (Have 2 butchers choice ribeye's in the fridge right now)

Anyway, thanks in advance.

Get the steaks to room temperature. A little salt and pepper is all you need.

Hot fire, cook them quick. If it doesn't sizzle when you put it on the grill, it's not hot enough. Hot fire for steaks. No more than five minutes per side, for medium rare. Anything over medium rare, you've destroyed a good steak.

The best steak, IMO, so you're good to go there.

PawPaw has it right. Get a good high-heat char on the outside but don't overcook the inside.

The only thing I would add, is to not just take the steak off the grill and dig in; cover them on a plate with tinfoil and let them rest for 5 minutes or so before eating. (They'll continue to cook a bit from the residual heat, so take them off the grill just before they are "done".)

It's going to take a few times on the new grill to figure out exactly how long it takes for any specific grill. But that's what makes it fun.

My new grill was anemic. PawPaws advice to hack it with a turkey fryer regulator was great! Ruth's Chris steak house perfect. Maybe not quite but damn close. Bitch gets hot now!

Get the grates good and hot, then rub them down with oil to get seasoning started. Do this a time or two before cooking on it.

Step 1.

Don't use a grill.

Get thee behind us, Satan.

Steak properly cooked on a grill over a WOOD fire is supreme.

Really? No marinade?

"age" the steak for 3-5 days in a fridge at just above freezing

Assuming it has cast iron cooking surfaces? Get the grill as hot as it will go with the lid on. Then spray the cooking surface down with Pam canola cooking spray. It will of course catch fire and burn. Do this as many times as you can stand. You want the grill metal to be just black like a good old cast iron skillet.

Get the steaks out of the fridge an hour before cooking and let them heat to room temp. Get the grill hot. Put the steak on the grill. Give it a good shake-over with Montreal steak seasoning mix. Let it sit no more than four minutes. Don't poke, prod, skewer, jiggle, molest or bother the meat in any way. Don't let anything catch fire, because charred fat isn't tasty. After four minutes, flip it over. Close lid. Turn off burners. Plenty of residual heat inside. Let it sit about 3-5 minutes depending on how done you want the meat.

Take the meat off, put it in a pan and cover with a lid. Let it sit and cool down a few minutes. This lets the juice go back through the meat. Then plate and serve with sautéed onions, skillet potatoes, and a nice green salad with some crusty rolls and butter.
