Grilled Steak

Ingredients

One or more 1 to 3-inch thick steaks (the higher quality cut the better). Plan on ½ pound of meat per person
1 tablespoon vegetable oil per steak
½ teaspoon salt per steak
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper per steak

If you are using steaks from the freezer, make sure steaks are completely defrosted before preparation.
Bring the steaks to room temperature by leaving them wrapped on the counter for a half hour.
Heat grill to medium-high.
Liberally rub oil on both sides of the steaks.
Apply salt and pepper to both sides of the steaks.
Let the steaks marinate in the oil, salt, and pepper mixture for 5 minutes.
Place the steaks on the grill.
Grill 5 minutes per side, flipping once midway through the five minutes.
Plan for a cooking time of 10 minutes per each 1-inch of thickness of the steak.
Cook a 1-inch steak for 10 minutes total. Cook for slightly less time if you would like a rare steak, and slightly more time if you would like a well-done steak.
To test the doneness of the steak, press a fork into the top while it is cooking. If it is done, the meat should spring back to its original position fairly quickly.
Remove steak from grill.
Cover lightly with a piece of foil.
Let steak rest for 5 minutes.
Serve.
