Four 8-ounce ribeye, sirloin, T-bone, or strip steaks, cut 1 inch thick, at room temperature
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (optional), melted

Remove the steaks from the coals and brush off the ashes. Spread melted butter over the top and a squeeze of lemon before serving, if you desire.

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 8-oz steaks (ribeye, sirloin, t-bone, or strip steaks) cut 1-inch thick, at room temperature
fine sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
1/2 c unsalted butter, melted, optional
1 lemon, quartered, optional

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak. Look for a steak with good marbling, which will help to keep it juicy and flavorful. Some popular cuts for dirty steak include ribeye, strip steak, and flank steak.
  • Season the steak liberally. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder, cumin, or paprika. If you're using a marinade, be sure to let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Cook the steak over high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside cooked to your desired doneness. If you're using a grill, cook the steak over direct heat for 2-3 minutes per side. If you're using a skillet, heat the skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Let the steak rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful piece of meat. Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
