Grill: 
  • Preheat grill over high heat (400 to 450ºF). Carefully grease the cooking grid with the oil. 
  • For skirt steak, flank steak, flat iron, New York, Ribeye, sirloin, T-Bone or tenderloin (steaks 3/4 to 1 inch thick): Sear the steaks covered for 3 to 5  minutes on each side, depending on the desired doneness. 
  • Steaks 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick: Sear as directed above and then place on indirect heat side of the grill covered, to finish cooking for 8 to 14 minutes, depending on the desired doneness. 
  •  Pan Sear: Heat a large cast iron or stainless steel pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil and allow to heat. Sear steak for 3 to 5  minutes on each side, depending on the desired doneness. This method is best for 3/4 to 1-inch thick steaks.
