Ingredients
Scale
- 1 steak, 1-2 inches thick (boneless rib-eye or strip steak work well)
- 1–2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1–2 teaspoons coarse salt
Instructions
- Mix together the cornstarch and salt.
- Pat your steak as dry as you can with paper towels, then pat it all over with the cornstarch mixture.
- Place the steak on a plate in your freezer for 30 minutes.
- Heat the grill to its highest temperature. After the steak has been in the freezer for 30 minutes, take it out and grill it for 4-8 minutes per side, depending on how rare or well-done you like it. Don’t move the steak while you are grilling it except to flip it over halfway through.
- After the steak is grilled, let it rest on the cutting board covered with foil for 5-7 minutes, then slice it against the grain and serve!
Notes
Steak: This method will work on any cut of steak that can go right on the grill without marinating or tenderizing it first. Rib-eye, strip and sirloin are all good choices.
Salt: We like using coarse salt, also known as kosher salt. Sea salt also works well too.
