How lucky can a girl get? To be on The Harry Connick Jr TV Show two times in one month! Harry Connick has been a long time favorite and he lived up to my expectations both times on our cooking segment. He liked to grill and wanted my input on how to grill steaks. I have the secrets to grilling perfect steak and can’t wait to share with you my grilling steak tips! I told him I would also show him how to grill pizza which he never had before.

How To Grill Steaks? Start with My Grilling Steak Tips For Grilling Perfect Steak
Do you know what the three most popular steaks are to grill? Well, if you watched my segment on The Harry Connick Jr TV show you know the answer! Ha! How to grill steaks? First, let’s start with the three most popular cuts of meat: Rib eye, Sirloin and Strip.
- Strip: Sometimes called a New York Strip is known for its texture and how buttery flavor. It has less fat content than a ribeye.
- Rib eye: Tends to be the most popular of the three. The marbling of the fat makes the ribeye juicier and more tender with so much flavor.
- Sirloin: Leanest cut of all three steaks. Look for cuts ending in “loin’ or “round” for leanest cuts.
Grilling Steak Tips For Grilling Perfect Steak
Of course, the three cuts of meat above are the most popular grilling steak choices but I love everything cooked on a grill! So, how to grill steaks? When it comes to seasoning, really all you need is salt and pepper. You can use a marinade and but when you start with good quality meat the grill brings out the wonderful flavors of the meat. You want to cook your steak at least 4-6 minutes on high heat on each side to sear in the juices, depending how you prefer your steak. So, here’s my simple grilling steak tips for grilling perfect steak. These are easy tips on how to grill steaks!
- Sear the outside of the steak to seal in the juice
- Never pierce a steak with a fork because that can release the juices and dry out the steak
- Let the meat come to room temperature
- When the steak is done, let is sit at least 5 minutes before cutting (this is a tough one because I never can wait)
