Here is what I do to a steak to make it awesome!
you have to get a good extra virgin olive oil and a good zip lock bag. Place one steak per bag and add 1/2 cup of olive oil per pound into the bag. kneed the bag until the steak is coated and fridge it for 2+ hours.(do not over night this!!!)
Take the steak out and place on a plate covered in a few napkins and use a few more to lightly pat the steak till it is simi dry on the outside(dull in appearance not shiny)
Now move the steak to a container(not a baggy and apply some Chicago steak seasoning to it and put it in the fridge for at least 30 min.(great time to get the grill started)
This is how I prep my steak and it blows a steak house of the water! And remember in decreasing order from best to worst. New york strip, rib eye, top sirloin. But this doesn't mean top sirloin is bad because my method makes it top top sirloin.
Tip, if you can never throw the steak on the grill and cover and leave it. If you do need to cover it do so but for no more than 5 min closed to 3 min open. You fire will start to cool off more than you know and all you'll be doing is drying out the steak. Open faced grilling is always preferred with the coals(no gas you lazy bastards!!!) pushed off to one half of the pit.
