Grilled Steak (Medium)

This is that simple, no-fuss steak that comes out juicy and perfectly cooked every time. When you get the timing right and let it rest, you end up with that tender, flavorful bite that feels like a proper cookout moment.

Step-by-Step Instructions

---

1. Bring steaks to room temperature

   Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit on the counter for about 1 hour.
   Do not grill a cold steak straight from the fridge.

1. Make the marinade

   In a bowl, combine avocado oil, steak seasoning, and salt.
   Pour the marinade over the steaks and coat evenly.

2. Preheat the grill

   Turn on all burners to medium heat.
   Line the grill grates with aluminum foil.

3. Initial sear

   Place the steaks on the hot foil.
   Cover and cook for 2 minutes.
   Flip and cook another 2 minutes.
   Set a timer — don’t guess.

4. Indirect heat finish

   Move the steaks to the top rack (indirect heat).
   Turn off all burners except the middle one.
   Cover and cook for 8 minutes.

5. Rest

   Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes.
   Do not cut, move, or disturb them during this time.

6. Slice & serve

   Slice after resting and serve.

Notes from My Kitchen

---

1. Resting is non-negotiable — that’s how you get juicy steaks.

2. Using indirect heat finishes the cook without burning the outside.

3. Set timers. Grilling is not a guessing game.
