Grilled Strip Steaks With Olive Oregano Relish Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high. Brush the grill with a wire grill brush to remove any soot and fat on the grill grates. Wipe the grill grate with an oiled cloth to remove any bits of crud that were loosened by brushing.
• Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature. Season the steaks generously with salt and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
• Arrange the steaks on the hottest part of the grill until beautiful brown grill marks form, then rotate the steaks 90 degrees to create the crosshatch marks.
• Turn the steaks over and repeat the process. Once the grill marks have formed on the second side, move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill and let cook to the desired doneness. Cook about 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

Steps:

• Prepare grill.
• Pit olives and coarsely chop. In a bowl stir together olives, onion, oregano, oil, pepper, and salt to taste. Pat steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Grill steaks on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. (Alternatively, grill steaks in a hot oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Serve steaks topped with relish.

Steps:

• To panbroil: Heat a stove-top ridged grill pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Add steak to heated pan, cook half of recommended time; turn and continue to cook until done. 8 to 10 minutes for rare, 11 to 12 minutes for medium-rare. Season with salt and pepper after cooking. Serve immediately with a spoonful of softened butter on top.
• To panfry: Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Add equal quantities oil and butter and heat until foaming subsides. Add steak, cook half of recommended time; turn and continue to cook until done. 8 to 10 minutes for rare, 11 to 12 minutes for medium-rare. Season with salt and pepper after cooking. Serve immediately with a spoonful of softened butter on top.

Steps:

• About 20 minutes before grilling, remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let sit, covered, at room temperature.
• Heat your grill to high. Brush the steaks on both sides with oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the grill and cook until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the steaks over and continue to grill 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare (an internal temperature of 135 degrees F), 5 to 7 minutes for medium (140 degrees F) or 8 to 10 minutes for medium-well (150 degrees F).
• Transfer the steaks to a cutting board or platter, tent loosely with foil and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
