Pro Tip/Hacks
Be sure to slice against the grain when cutting your steak. The grain is which way the lines run in the meat. Turn the steak 90 degrees from the lines.
When flipping your steak, move to a fresh, unoccupied part of the grate to achieve the best sear. The energy has already been taken out of that part of the grate and caramelization intensity will be reduced if placed back in that same spot.
Be sure to brush the steaks with oil prior to seasoning and placing on the grill. The oil acts as a glue to hold the seasoning and also prevents the steak from sticking to the grill.
