Grilled Strip Steaks With Garlic And Oregano Recipes

HOW TO GRILL STRIP STEAK ON A GAS GRILL

Steps:

• If possible, rest the steaks at room temperature for about 1 hour, allowing the steaks to come to room temperature. But, as little as 15 minutes will help.
• Trim the beef of extra fat to prevent "flare-ups" that will burn your steak.
• It is best to apply salt and pepper at the start of the resting period. Just before starting to grill is OK if you skip the rest or forget. Use coarse salt and pepper. I used my 7:2:2, which is kosher salt: pepper: garlic.
• Preheat your grill to as hot as it will go. Clean and oil well. Do not use olive oil here due to the low smoke point.
• Place strip steaks on the grill over direct heat. Closed lid. Grill for five minutes on the first side. If you want crossed grill marks, you should rotate the meat 90 degrees after the first 2 1/2 minutes. Flip at 5 minutes.
• Grill for approximately three additional minutes for rare, about 4 minutes for medium-rare, and 5 minutes for medium. Your time will vary with the thickness of the steaks and the grill. Never cook by time only-always cook to a target internal temperature.
• During the post-cooking rest, your temperature will rise a few degrees, so cook to 3-4 degrees less-lightly tent with foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

GRILLED MARINATED GARLIC AND CHILI RUBBED STRIP LOIN STEAKS

Steps:

• In a small bowl mash the garlic cloves with 1 teaspoon salt to make a paste, then add in chili powder, cumin, honey and Worcestershire sauce; mix to make a paste.
• Arrange the steaks on a plate or platter and rub both sides of the steaks with the chili paste.
• Transfer the steaks to a large resealable plastic bag.
• Refrigerate for 24 hours (or up to 2 days). Remove the steaks 1 hour and 15 minutes and let sit at room temperature (this is IMPORTANT, the steaks must stay out at room temperature before grilling!).
• Prepare the grill.
• Grill the steaks about 5-6 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

GRILLED GARLIC STEAK

Steps:

• Coat steaks with onion salt.
• This adds not only flavor but will slightly tenderize the meat as well.
• Spread Oregano evenly on steak (s).
• Add as much pepper as you would like.
• Using a paring knife, poke 3 or four holes directly through the steak.
• Mince garlic and press it into the holes in the steak.
• Grill to your liking over a lower heat.
• The minced garlic will spread through the steak so add as much or as little garlic as you desire.

SAVORY GARLIC MARINATED STEAKS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix the vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, honey, olive oil, ground black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, salt, liquid smoke, and cayenne pepper.
• Place steaks in a shallow glass dish with the marinade, and turn to coat. For optimum flavor, rub the liquid into the meat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.
• Preheat grill for medium-high to high heat.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill steaks 7 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. Discard leftover marinade.

GRILLED STRIP STEAKS WITH OLIVE-OREGANO RELISH

Steps:

• Prepare grill.
• Pit olives and coarsely chop. In a bowl stir together olives, onion, oregano, oil, pepper, and salt to taste. Pat steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Grill steaks on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. (Alternatively, grill steaks in a hot oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Serve steaks topped with relish.

GARLIC GRILLED STEAKS

Steps:

• With a mortar and pestle, crush garlic cloves with salt and pepper. Stir in oil, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce., Grill steaks, covered, over medium heat 5-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Brush generously with garlic mixture during the last 4 minutes of cooking.
