Grilling Tongs and Turner Set

Ingredients

2 Ribeye or New York Strip steaks about 1- 1 ½ in thickness
1 tablespoon avocado oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

Allow the steaks to come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Then pat them dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper and brush with oil on both sides.
Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat. Place the steaks on the grill and cook with the lid open for 4 minutes on one side without touching.
Use tongs to flip the steaks and cook for 2-4 more minutes on the other side, depending on desired level of doneness (130°F for medium rare or 140°F for medium well), keeping in mind that the temperature will continue to rise about 5 degrees after you remove from heat and the steaks rest.
Transfer the steaks to a plate or cutting board, add the butter on top and tent with aluminum foil, if desired. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.

Notes

Tip: Let your steak come to room temperature before grilling for more even cooking.
