Perfect steak on the grill

Before I give my recipe I want to educate and give a few tips on the do's and don'ts of frilling steak.

 1. Make sure your grill is hot enough BEFORE you put the meat on.  Your temp for a good steak should be between 425  and 450.  Remember every time you open the grill heat escapes.

2. DO NOT salt steak before it hits the grill.  Salt draws moisture out of the meat and to the surface,  Water boils at 275 degrees meet cooks at 350 if you salt it, basically you end up boiling steak.

3. Know your cuts of steak.  There are a lot of options to choose from some are awesome straight, some best for marinade some for heavy spice or rubs.  Do some research find out what's what.  My favorite cuts for straight steak flavor are 1.Ribeye 2. Tri-tip 3. Chuck steak 4. T-bone 5. Sirloin.  All the cuts are good and have their place but to me these 5 really are the best for grilling.

4. DO NOT over cook the meat.  Dry steak is gross, don't fear a little pink.

5. DO NOT cut the steak right of the grill.  If you cut it immediately you will lose all the juices which is what make it delicious.  Let the steak sit for about 3 minutes, this way the juices redistribute making the steak juicy and delicious.

Making the perfect steak:

Decide what cut you are going to use.  I will be using Chuck steak, it has the same taste and texture as ribeye, just as delicious and a lot cheaper.  ($2.49/lb)

Steaks (4 bout 1/4" thick.)(thick steak is great too just remember to cook it longer.)
Melted Butter
Pepper
Salt

Preheat grill between  425 and 450.  Brush melted butter on both sides of steak.  Pepper to taste.  Place on grill (direct heat) meaning  directly above the flame.  For medium rare (the only way really to eat steak) cook on one side 3:30, flip over and cook another 3:30.  (if the steak is thicker you will have to cook it longer, thinner less time.)  If you like your steak more done increase cook time, but try not to turn the steak more than once.  Use tongs or a spatula to turn.  If you use a fork or a knife all the juices will run out when you turn it.  Once it is cooked to your preference remove and salt to taste.  Let sit 2-3 minutes then cut and enjoy.  It is so simple and so delicious.
