I don’t really care what time of year it is, I’m always looking for a good excuse to use my grill! And a delicious steak is always a good excuse for the grill!

Strip steaks are also called New York Strip Steaks, Manhattan Steaks, or Kansas City Steaks. Can’t find strip steaks? You can use this marinade with any other steak you can find!

Strip steaks are a wonderful cut of beef. The strip steak is actually part of the T-bone steak. The strip steak is the larger part of the T-bone, and the filet mignon is the smaller part of the T-bone. We prefer our steaks cooked to medium-rare. This guide will show you how to cook the perfect steak, no matter how well done you like it. (But I strongly suggest you stick to medium-rare or medium! If you cook a steak longer than that, you’ll start to lose some of the moisture and flavor, and can end up with a dry, tough piece of meat.)

The great thing about grilling steaks – especially if you are cooking them to medium-rare – is that they take practically no time to cook! When you’re grilling over 500 degree heat, beef cooks in a hurry! In fact, you can preheat the oven, toss in these potatoes for a side dish, then turn on the grill and cook your steaks, and the potatoes and steaks will be done right about the same time!

The marinade for these steaks couldn’t be easier. Toss 4 ingredients into a bowl (and 1 of those ingredients is water!), mix them up, and pour over the steak. I used fresh garlic, minced with a garlic press, and the juice of a fresh lemon because I had some extra lemons. You can easily substitute jarred minced garlic and bottled lemon juice if that’s what you have on hand.

Now, fire up those grills, and let’s cook some steaks!

Enjoy!
