Ingredients

4 steaks, of your preferred cut i.e (1/4-1 1/2 inch-thick) boneless rib-eye, (12 ounce) New York strip steaks, or (8-10 ounce) filet mignon, trimmed
2 tablespoons canola or extra-virgin olive oil, to taste
kosher salt, to taste
ground pepper, to taste

Directions

Step 1 -Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling.

Step 2 -Let sit, covered, at room temperature. Allow the steaks to reach almost room temperature. This will ensure that the steaks are evenly cooked throughout and prevent drying.

Step 3 -Preheat the grill to medium-high.

Step 4 -Brush the steaks with the oil on both sides.

Step 5 -Season liberally with salt and pepper.

Step 6 -Place the steaks on the grill, and cook until golden brown and slightly charred, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 7 -Turn the steaks over, and continue to grill until it reaches its desired doneness, about 3-5 minutes for medium-rare (an internal temperature of 135 degrees F), 5-7 minutes for medium (140 degrees F), or 8-10 minutes for medium-well (150 degrees F). Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meat has reached a proper internal temperature.

Step 8 -Once the steaks have been cooked to your desired doneness, place them on a cutting board or plate.

Step 9 -Cover the steaks loosely with butcher paper or aluminum foil, and let rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10 -Serve. If slicing, slice against the grain.
