Simply set your steaks on a plate, outside of the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour before grilling to avoid cooking steaks cold.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Prepare and season steaks in advance<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/grillingtips_2-season-in-advance-1.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;How to Grill a Steak: 8 Tips for Success&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Season your steak at least 30 minutes before grilling \u2013 this is the secret to big flavor through a better crust. Basically, the salt or seasoning get inside the steak, adding flavor and drying out the surface of the steak. Season simply with kosher salt or use a complete steak seasoning (we love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/product\/Omaha-Steaks-Seasoning-00000024957?SRC=RZ0636\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">Omaha Steaks Seasoning<\/a>). Make sure to season the top and bottom. For even better results inside and out, consider using a simple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/how-to-dry-brine-steak\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">dry brine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Oil the grill grates<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/grillingtips_3-oil-the-grill-grates.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;How to Grill a Steak: 8 Tips for Success&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Oil the grill, not the steak! Keep steaks from sticking to a hot grill applying a bit of oil just before grilling. \u00a0You can oil your grates using tongs and a rolled-up paper towel dipped in vegetable oil. Grill spray works too, but you may get flareups.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Proper grill temperature<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/grillingtips_4-proper-grill-temperature.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;How to Grill a Steak: 8 Tips for Success&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The most important tip for grilling a perfect steak is a HOT grill. Use indirect and direct heat on either a charcoal or gas grill for the best results. Sear the first side of your steak on the hot side of the grill and finish in indirect heat after flipping. Make sure to space your steaks about 1 inch apart to allow each steak to cook thoroughly.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Use the 60\/40 rule to sear the steak<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/grillingtips_5-use-the-6040-rule.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;How to Grill a Steak: 8 Tips for Success&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>When and how often to flip a steak is a subject of great debate and strong opinions. And nobody is wrong. Basically, you need to make sure both sides are exposed to direct heat long enough to sear. And you want to make sure that it cooks evenly towards the center. The easiest way to achieve that is to flip it once.<\/p>\n<p>The 60\/40 rule is a simple guideline for making that single flip. That means 60% of the cook time should be on the first side of the steak and 40% of the cook time on the other side, after the flip.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Use a meat thermometer to nail the temperature<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/grillingtips_6-nail-the-temperature-1.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;How to Grill a Steak: 8 Tips for Success&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The most accurate way to measure the temperature of your steak is with a meat thermometer.

Monitor your steak temperature on the grill, and take it off the heat when it\u2019s 5 \u2013 10 degrees <em>below<\/em> your target temperature.
