The Perfect Steak Recipe
- 2 (1 1/2) pounds boneless New York strip steaks, 2 1/2 inches thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Vegetable-oil cooking spray
- Drizzle both sides of the steaks with olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill and arrange coals for direct cooking. Lightly coat rack with cooking spray. Coals should be glowing white.
- Place the steaks on grill. Cook 8 minutes per side, for rare; 10 minutes for medium-rare. Let steak rest 1 to 2 minutes for juices to collect, then serve.
