3. Prepare for Grilling
- Remove the steak from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before grilling to allow it to come to room temperature. This helps in cooking the steak evenly.
- Preheat your grill to high heat. You want it nice and hot to get a good sear on the steak.
4. Grill the Steak
- Remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Place the steak on the hot grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. The time may vary depending on the thickness of the steak and the heat of your grill.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy; 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
5. Rest and Serve
- Transfer the grilled steak to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. This is crucial as it makes the steak easier to chew and enhances the texture.
