The Secret to a Perfectly Grilled Steak

I'm excited to kick off today's tutorial with the secret to making a perfectly grilled steak. It all starts with selecting the right cut of meat. Look for a nice marbled ribeye or striploin steak for the best flavor and tenderness.

Once you have your steak, season it generously with salt and pepper. The key to getting a nice crust on the steak is to make sure it's completely dry before seasoning. Pat it dry with a paper towel if needed.

Next, preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat. You want the grill to be hot so that you get those beautiful grill marks and a nice sear on the steak. Place the steak on the grill and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. If you prefer your steak more well-done, you can cook it for a few minutes longer on each side.

Once the steak is cooked to your desired doneness, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a juicy and tender steak.

Finally, slice the steak against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness. Serve it up with a side of cheat's ratatouille and fragrant lemon and saffron rice for a complete and delicious meal.

Now you know the secret to making a perfectly grilled steak in just minutes. Give this recipe a try and impress your family and friends with your grilling skills!
