Salt & Pepper Steak

When I want to grill a nice steak without having to use my rub, I always turn to just plain salt and pepper. Using salt and pepper alone tastes great on a steak. It brings out that natural beef flavor.

I never get complaints when I grill my steaks with salt and pepper alone. It is a simple recipe and is easy to grill. My favorite steak is the New York Strip. It always has been and probably always will be. My next favorite is the Ribeye. You can use any steak you want, it does not matter.

There are only three ingredients you need. That is fresh ground pepper, Kosher salt, and vegetable oil. First pat dry your steaks. Once that is done you can grind your fresh pepper on your steaks. Then add about two pinches of Kosher salt on your steak. Last, add about a tablespoon of vegetable oil on your steak. Spread the vegetable oil all over the steak, salt, and pepper. Do this to both sides of your steak.

Also make sure to coat the sides of your steak as well. I notice that a lot of people neglect to do this. I especially like to get the mixture on the fat of the meat. It gives it an awesome flavor!

Once you fire is down and the coals are glowing, you can add your steaks to the grill. As you already know
