If you saw my post a couple weeks ago about the first steak I ever made, you know I'm new to cooking meat. I'm nearly 40 and have never really cooked much of it in my whole life. I am enjoying the adventure, though.
I got this strip steak from Butcher Box and decided to try cooking it outside on the grill. I rubbed it with Penzey's Northwoods Fire spice blend.
I pre-heated the grill until it was good and hot. After cleaning and oiling the grates, I cooked the steak with the lid closed for about two and a half minutes. At that point, I rotated the steak to get crossed grill marks, because that's obviously important. Closed the gate again, flipped the steak, and cooked it for about 2-3 more minutes. I used a thermometer and cooked it until it was just under 140ºF. After letting it rest for about 10 minutes, it was good to go.
I also took one jalapeño my parents gave me from their garden, stuffed it with some cheese, wrapped it in some bacon, and grilled it while I was grilling the steak. It was quite delicious!
