Ingredients
- 2 New York Strip Steaks
- Garlic Salt
- Fresh Ground Pepper
Instructions
Approximately 45 minute before you are ready to grill your New York strip steaks, take them out of the fridge and rub in some garlic salt and fresh ground pepper. Leave them on the counter to let them warm to room temperature.
Preheat the grill on high for direct grilling.
Clean your grill with a grill brush.
Hold your hand about 2 inches above the grill and see if the temperature is right. For gas grilling steaks over high heat, you don't want to be able to hold your hand over the grill for more than 5 seconds. Don't try to be tough, you know when it is hot!
Place the new york strip steaks on the grill with tongs. NEVER pierce the skin of the steaks with a fork!
After about 2 minutes, use tongs to pick up the steaks, rotate 90 degrees and then place the steaks back on the grill for those nice grill marks.
After 2 more minutes, you are ready to flip the steaks. Pick them up and flip them over. This is the only time you are going to flip the steaks (we told you this was easy).
After another 2 minutes, rotate the New York strip steaks another 90 degrees.
Now grill them for a final 2 minutes and they should be ready. Take the grilled steaks off the grill and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. You can always stick them back on the grill for a few minutes if they aren't done enough.

Tips on Grilling Steaks: How to tell a Strip Steak is Done:
In our post on how to grill filet mignon, we discussed how to tell if the steaks were ready by pushing on the steaks. Again, we NEVER want to cut into our steaks or pierce the steaks in any way. This same technique applies to New York Strip steaks, but you can also tell if they are done another way. When you first picked up the raw steaks with tongs to place on the grill, they were pretty limp, right? When you grill a steak, the flesh gets firm. So a medium grilled thinner steak, like a strip or a ribeye should bend a little when picked up with tongs, but will be more firm than when raw. The more rigid the steak, the more well done! It will take a little practice, but you should be able to tell with this “rigid steak” test after observing a few times.
Serve your grilled new york strip steaks with some grilled vegetables or a nice baked potato and enjoy! Remember, some of your guests might not be red meat eaters. In that case, make sure you have some nice grilled chicken breasts to satisfy all of your guests.
