Step 1
The choice of steak is really up to you. Some people fancy the gourmet cuts. Others purchase the value packs. What makes a great steak is the way you cook it.

Step 2
Before grilling the steak drizzle olive oil on it. Any oil will do, but I prefer olive oil for its taste, richness, and consistency. Make sure to drizzle the oil on both sides of the steak. If you prefer other marinades like A-1 or Heinz 57 mix the marinade with the olive oil.

Step 3
Gather your seasonings and heat up the grill on high. If using the stove you want the flame on medium high. Sprinkle your seasonings on both sides. I usually use kosher salt and cracked pepper, but any seasoning can be used. The key is to have the oil keep the seasonings on the steak. During grilling the majority of seasonings fall off and your left over with a bland steak. However, because of the viscosity of oil it allows the seasonings to grill into the steak.

Step 4
Cook the steak to your liking. Try to avoid cutting the steak to see if it's done, as you can lose a great deal of flavor. Instead use a meat thermometer. One crucial step is when you remove the steak allow it to sit. A good rule of thumb is to let the steak sit for 5 minutes to redistribute the juices.

Step 5
You now have officially prepared yourself to grill a great steak. Good luck and happy grilling.
