Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pat the steak dry and sprinkle salt and Applewood Smoked Pepper on both side, pressing down to ensure even coverage. Let the steak rest and absorb the seasoning for at least 1 hour.

  2. Bring the steak to room temperature. Grill over medium-hot coals or on a covered gas grill at 450°F, about 4–5 minutes per side, until juices appear on the surface. For doneness, check with a meat thermometer: 125°F for rare, 130°F for medium-rare.

  3. Slice on a slight bias against the grain, about ⅛ inch thick, using a sharp knife.

Simple, smoky, and packed with bold flavor—this NY strip steak is your go-to for an effortlessly elevated meal.
