The Perfect Grilled Steak

All year, we use our grill as often as we can, but it really gets a workout when warm weather finally comes to stay. We grill everything and nothing is off limits, but there is nothing better than a perfectly grilled steak.

My husband has always been the go to person for grilling in our house. And I love having the help with dinner. Many hands always make for lighter work and we really do enjoy cooking together.

I was not always comfortable with grilling steak on my own. I am a penny pincher at heart and after every trip to the butcher shop, I would get nervous over the thought of destroying an expensive cut of meat. It frustrated me that I wasn’t comfortable grilling steaks, so I asked my husband for some coaching. I learned that less is definitely more.

My favorite steak to grill is a rib eye. Other great cuts are Filet mignon, T-bone, Porterhouse, Flat iron and New York Strip. We top our beautiful, perfectly grilled steaks with our balsamic mushrooms. It really is a delicious combination.

Grilled steak is a favorite menu request all year long in our house, but every Father’s Day they always seem to find their way onto our grill.
