Thaw frozen steaks in the refrigerator overnight if you can &#8211; they&#8217;ll be ready the next day to unwrap and cook. If you&#8217;re in more of a hurry, you can use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/whats-the-best-way-to-thaw-steaks\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">quick-thaw\u00a0method.<\/a> Put vacuum-sealed frozen steaks under cold water for about 20 minutes, and they will be safely thawed.<\/p>\n<p><em>Do I need to bring steaks to room temperature before grilling?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a good idea, but it&#8217;s not completely essential. If your steaks are refrigerator temperature, place them out on the kitchen counter about 30 minutes before you plan to grill them. This is a good time to season your steaks, too. Basically, the colder your steaks are when they hit the hot grill, the further they have to go. So warmer steaks will help with your timing.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get Serious About Seasoning<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>What do you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/how-to-season-steak\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">season steaks<\/a> with? The store shelves are overfilled with a million steak rubs and seasoning blends, but don&#8217;t complicate it! The easiest (and butcher&#8217;s favorite) way to go is simple sea salt and black pepper. Choose a chunky salt and freshly cracked pepper if you can, and generously season your steak about 30 minutes before cooking. This gives time for the salt to work its way into the beef and further break it down and create more flavor.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8212;- Many grillers rub a little bit of olive oil on their steaks to help seasonings stick &#8212;-<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For even bigger flavor, go ahead with a steak seasoning.

Get your grill ready to cook on HIGH heat in one area and LOW heat in another. That means 2 burners on high and one on low for gas grillers, or a <em>three-zone cook<\/em> for charcoal grillers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>DO let your grill pre-heat so the grates are hot when you add steaks.<\/li>\n<li>Before adding any food, brush your clean grill grates with oil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once your grill is running hot and the grill grates have pre-heated, and your steaks have been seasoned\u2026 you&#8217;re ready! Let&#8217;s put those steaks on the grill!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Should I Flip My Steak a Lot?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Carefully place your steaks on the hot, oiled grill grates, directly over the heat source. You&#8217;re officially grilling\u2026 now what?!<\/p>\n<p>The best thing to do to a steak on the grill is to leave it alone. Flip it once, and don&#8217;t poke, prod, or press it\u2026 let the heat do all the work. Flip the steak over once, at about 60% of the total cooking time. We call it the 60\/40 rule, and it&#8217;s going to help make sure your steak is evenly cooked.

(1) The grilled, flavorful outside and (2) The juicy inside. Over high heat and open flame, the crispy, darker-colored, smoke-kissed outside of your steak has undergone what&#8217;s called the <em>Maillard reaction<\/em> &#8211; a chemical reaction that creates flavor. The inside has become juicy as the marbling melts into the beef. The secret to great steak is 60\/40 timing that lets both of these things happen.<\/p>\n<h2>Steak Doneness<\/h2>\n<p>The &#8220;doneness&#8221; of a steak is determined by the internal temperature of the beef. Every cook and every eater has a preference, but if you ask the butcher\u2026 <em>medium rare<\/em> is best. Use a high-quality meat thermometer for reliable, accurate results and follow our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/steak-doneness-guide\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">steak doneness guide<\/a>. There&#8217;s no need to learn a fancy trick\u2026 just measure!

But there&#8217;s one more thing to do, and it&#8217;s the easiest thing.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Let Your Steak Rest.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The best grillers take their steaks off the grill when they&#8217;re about 5 degrees below the target temperature. Then, the let the steak sit. Rest. Breathe. (and you can, too.) The steak&#8217;s temperature will rise a few more degrees on the plate, and another important thing will happen &#8211; the juices will redistribute throughout the meat. You don&#8217;t need to eat steak blazing hot. In fact, you don&#8217;t want to. Take your time, and slice your steak when you&#8217;re good and ready.<\/p>\n<p>After all, this is going to be the best steak you&#8217;ve ever made.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/how-to-dry-brine-steak\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">How to Dry Brine a Steak and Why You Should<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/9-biggest-steak-grilling-mistakes\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">9 Biggest Grilled Steak Mistakes and How to Fix Them<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/how-to-grill-filet-mignon\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">How. to Grill a Filet Mignon<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/how-to-grill-a-tomahawk\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">How to Grill a Tomahawk<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/how-to-grill-strip-steak\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">How to Grill the Perfect New York Strip Steak<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"prod-block\"><div class=\"prod-container\"><a class=\"prod-link-a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/product\/Gourmet-Steak-Pack-71814?SRC=RZ0638\" title=\"Omaha Steaks Gourmet Steak Pack\" aria-label=\"Omaha Steaks Gourmet Steak Pack\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><div style=\"position:relative;\">\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Omaha Steaks Gourmet Steak Pack\" data-original=\"https:\/\/assets.omahasteaks.com\/transform\/b0e20a44-dbe9-4c34-817b-c2c73d80789d\/71814?io=transform%3Acrop%2Cwidth%3A1600%2Cheight%3A1600&io=transform%3Afill%2Cwidth%3A500%2Cheight%3A500\" style=\"width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.omahasteaks.com\/transform\/b0e20a44-dbe9-4c34-817b-c2c73d80789d\/71814?io=transform%3Acrop%2Cwidth%3A1600%2Cheight%3A1600&io=transform%3Afill%2Cwidth%3A500%2Cheight%3A500\"><\/div><div class=\"border_b mar_t_xs\">\t<div class=\"prod-title\">Omaha Steaks Gourmet Steak Pack<\/div>\t<div class=\"clearfix pad_b_xxs\">\t\t<div class=\"prod-desc\">\u00a0\u00a0\t\t\t<span class=\"sku_num os_txt_p_m float_r\">#71814WCV<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div><div class=\"border_b mar_t_xs\">\t<div class=\"clearfix pad_b_xxs\">\t\t<div class=\"prod-listings\"><ul style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;padding-bottom: 0px;\">    <li>Bacon-Wrapped Filet Mignons<\/li>    <li>Tartlets &amp;
