    Step 2: The only seasoning is coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

    Step 3: Then a super-hot grill.

    Step 4: Flip one time — and one time only — when the edges are browned and caramelized.

    Step 5: Until just under 130°F for medium rare — then it's time to rest.

    An instant read thermometer is the best tool you can have around when grilling steak. If you've pulled it off too soon, don't panic: Put it back on the grill, cover, and check again soon. When you're happy with the steak, cover it with some foil and give it 10 minutes to rest.
