Tony and I split a big New York strip because it was pretty thick – once steak weighed in at a whole pound!!   

Tips On Grilling a Great Steak:

  • the steak should be room temperature – never grill a cold steak
  • make sure your grill is really pre-heated – mine was 500 degrees when I put mine on
  • I use a timer to make sure I don’t overcook it = 2 minutes one side, flip and cook for 2 minutes, flip in opposite direction and cook each side one additional minute for rare/medium rare
  • let it rest!  After it leaves the grill, wrap in foil for at LEAST 5 minutes (mine rested closer to 10) to let the juices redistribute

  • 5 ounces baked potato
  • 1 tablespoon fat free sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon bacon bits (put on potato and salad at the table)
  • 2 cups salad
