THE BEST GRILLED STEAK EVER!
I have tried about 20 grilled steak recipes here, and none beat my old tried and true recipe. It is the result of years of experimentation, and is the best. I tried another Zaar recipe tonight, and I have decided to try and post mine here. Some of the ingredients are regional spices, so I'm not sure if I can post it, but I will do the best I can. This is absolutely the best grilled steak I have ever eaten! Please note: this is best made on a charcoal grill, gas is okay, but charcoal is best!! If you really want a smokey flavor, add hickory chips and cover the grill during the last few minutes!

Steps:
- Mix the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, greek seasoning, and southern flavoring together.
- Place steaks in a shallow pan. Pour above mixture over the steaks. Turn to coat. Leave on the counter at room temperature. This is very important. It allows your meat to relax and absorb the marinade. This makes for the most tender and juicy of steaks!
- Place desired amount of charcoal in the bottom section of your grill. Squirt some lighter fluid on it. Light your charcoal after waiting a couple of minutes. Let the coals reach a medium high temp -- this should take about 20-25 minutes. Spread your coals evenly. This recipe is best on a charcoal grill, but you can use gas.
- Place the steaks on the grill. Cook about 4 minutes on each side. Cook according to your preferences -- medium, medium-rare, well done, etc.
- 4 minutes on each side should produce a medium or medium-rare steak at 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.

Steps:
- About 20 minutes before grilling, remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let sit, covered, at room temperature.
- Heat your grill to high. Brush the steaks on both sides with oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.

Turn the steaks over and continue to grill 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare (an internal temperature of 135 degrees F), 5 to 7 minutes for medium (140 degrees F) or 8 to 10 minutes for medium-well (150 degrees F).
- Transfer the steaks to a cutting board or platter, tent loosely with foil and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Tips:
- Choose the right steak: Select a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling. This will ensure a juicy and flavorful steak.
- Season the steak properly: Use a simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to season the steak. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Let the steak rest: After seasoning the steak, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the steak to come to room temperature and cook more evenly.
- Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to high heat before cooking the steak. This will help to sear the steak and create a nice crust.
- Cook the steak over direct heat: Cook the steak over direct heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Let the steak rest again: After cooking the steak, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak.
Conclusion:
Grilling the perfect steak is a skill that takes time and practice. But by following these tips, you can create a juicy, flavorful steak that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're firing up the grill, be sure to give one of these recipes a try.
