Source of Recipe
www.thatsmyhome.com
List of Ingredients
4 (14- to 16-ounce) strip steaks, about 1-1 1/4 inches thick
1 t. kosher or other coarse salt
1/2 t. freshly ground black
Such fresh herb sprigs as rosemary, sage, thyme or parsley, for garnish Recipe
Prepare grill for a two-level fire capable of cooking first on high heat (1-2 seconds with the hand test) and then on medium heat (4-5 seconds with the hand test).
Remove steaks from refrigerator and drain, straining marinade into a small, nonreactive saucepan. Let steaks sit uncovered at room temperature about 30 minutes. Bring marinade to boil over medium-high heat and boil vigorously until reduced to about 1/2 cup of syrupy glaze. Blot steaks of any moisture on the surface and sprinkle both sides of steaks with salt and pepper to taste.
Grill steaks, uncovered, 2 1/2-3 minutes per side. Move steaks to medium heat, turning them again, and continue grilling 2 1/2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness. Steaks should be turned a minimum of three times - more often if juice begins to form on surface. Brush steaks with reduced glaze in last few minutes of cooking on each side. If grilling covered, sear both sides of meat first on high heat, uncovered, 2 1/2-3 minutes; finish cooking with cover on over medium heat 5-7 minutes, turning steaks once midway. Brush steaks with glaze when you turn them and again when they come off the grill.
Serve steaks hot, garnished with herbs.
