Grilled Strip Steak
Yesterday, being the 4th of July, it was predicable that at some point I would find myself standing in front of a grill doing the caveman thing and cooking over an open fire. Our neighbor invited us over for a cookout, she planned steak, salmon and shrimp cooked on her Weber grill, along with all the accompaniments. She is a, grilling means charcoal, person as many of my neighbors are. I am the impatient type, turn a knob, push a button and viola, the perfect fire. I like controlling the temperature, up and down, depending on what I am cooking. Weber type people tend to have all the time in the world to build the fire, and just when you are ready to cook the fire is just about dead.
Grilling to me is all about grill marks, grill marks are all about flavor. Slow “baking” food, even on a Weber is slow baking, not burn the hair off your arm grilling. Bottom line is the food came out just fine, maybe not as flavorful as a flame kissed steak but pretty good anyway.
BTW – Salt, pepper and olive oil is all you need to make a good piece of meat or fish great. Save the marinade for salads.

The keys here are to have the fire very hot and the steaks at least 1 thick. Have the steaks at room temperature, brush olive oil on both sides of steaks, add pepper and salt. Grill about 5 minutes on one side and 4 on the other. (depending on how you like your steak and the thickness of the steaks) remove steak from grill and let sit for 10 minutes. It will finish cooking on the platter; so take it off just before it is done as you would like.
