Equipment

  • Grill
  • Paper Towel

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil or cold-pressed olive oil
  • Coarse sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 4 boneless rib-eye or New York strip steaks each 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches thick (around 12 ounces per steak), or filet mignons (8 to 10 ounces each), trimmed of excess fat

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Steaks

  • Start by taking your steaks out of the refrigerator. Allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This step is crucial for even cooking.

Step 2: Season the Meat

  • In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Ensure each steak gets a generous amount of this mixture. Don’t be shy! The seasoning is what brings the whole dish together.

Step 3: Heat the Grill

  • Preheat your grill to high heat. This is non-negotiable. A hot grill helps achieve that perfect sear, locking in the flavors and juices of the meat.

Step 4: Oil the Grill Grates

  • Once the grill is hot, use a paper towel soaked in oil to wipe down the grates. This prevents sticking and creates those beautiful grill marks.

Step 5: Grill the Steaks

  • Place the steaks on the grill and don’t move them for about 4 to 5 minutes. This searing process creates an incredible flavor. After 5 minutes, flip the steaks and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare.

Step 6: Rest the Steaks

  • After cooking, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute in the meat, ensuring each bite is packed with flavor.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

  • Slice against the grain and serve immediately. Pair with your chosen sides, and you have a meal that wows!

Notes

Here are some handy tips to ensure your Bobby Flay steak turns out amazing every time:
  • Use a meat thermometer: Target 130°F for medium-rare. It takes the guesswork out of grilling.
  • Choose quality meat: Always opt for fresh, high-quality steaks. It makes a noticeable difference.
  • Don’t overcrowd the grill: Give each steak room to breathe. This helps achieve an even cook.
  • Rest your steak: This step is often overlooked. Never skip it!
  • Experiment with flavors: Feel free to add herbs like rosemary or thyme to enhance the flavor.
