Grilled Steak

Method

Grilled Steak

1

Prepare steak

Remove the 8 oz New York strip from the refrigerator 20–30 minutes before cooking to come closer to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper.

2

Preheat and oil

Preheat a grill or heavy skillet (cast iron) over high heat until very hot (grill: 500°F+; skillet: shimmering). Brush or rub the steak with 1 tablespoon neutral oil to prevent sticking.

3

Grill steak

Place the steak on the hot grill or skillet. For medium-rare (recommended), cook 3–4 minutes per side depending on thickness (aim for internal temperature 125–130°F / 52–54°C). Adjust time for desired doneness. Do not press the steak while cooking.

4

Rest and slice

Transfer steak to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Rest 5–7 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Slice thinly across the grain into 1/8–1/4-inch slices right before serving.

Herb & Vegetable Salad

5

While the steak rests, prepare the salad. Place 1/4 cup chopped mint, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, thinly sliced green onion (white and green parts) and 1/4 cup very thinly sliced red onion in a mixing bowl.

6

Add the tomato (cut into 1/2-inch pieces) and 1/2 cup sliced seeded cucumber to the bowl. Toss gently to combine.

Dressing (light Thai-style vinaigrette)

7

Whisk together 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1/4 teaspoon chile flakes (or a few thin slices of fresh red chile) in a small bowl until sugar dissolves.

8

Taste and adjust seasoning: add up to 1/4 teaspoon additional salt or a pinch more sugar if too sharp. The dressing should be bright, salty, slightly sweet, and a little spicy.

9

Pour the dressing over the herb and vegetable mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.

To Finish

10

Arrange sliced steak on a serving plate or divide between two plates. Spoon the dressed herb and vegetable salad over and around the steak.

11

Season lightly with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper if desired. Serve with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over the steak just before eating.
