Take the steak out of the refrigerator and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest and get to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Pat it dry with a paper towel before adding the seasoning.

If you are using charcoal grill, I recommend placing your lit and ashed over charcoals on half of your grill. This will create a hotter and a cooler side of the grill so that you don’t burn your steaks while getting them to temperature you desire.
If you are using a gas grill, you should have a higher cooking shelf to place steaks away from direct heat while cooking.

Brushed the meat with oil and season it well with salt and pepper on both sides. Place steaks on the hot side of the grill to give them a nice sear.
After a couple of minutes, turn the meat to the other side and move it over to the cooler side of the grill (or the higher shelf away from the direct heat).
To check your steaks for doneness, use a leave-in meat thermometer, it will help you track temperature the whole time. Insert the thermometer through the side of the steak, towards the middle.
(You can also use a meat thermometer that is not meant to be left in the meat. To check the temperature: hold the steak with tongues and insert the thermometer through the side of the steak, towards the middle. You want to hit the reading on the thickest part and in the middle.)
Once the steak is getting close to your desired temperature (about 15-20 degrees away), move it back to the hot side to finish the sear on the lighter side. After you’ve moved the steak back to the hot side, check the temperature every couple of minutes.
Take the steaks off the grill when it hits 5 degrees away from your desired temperature. Steak will keep cooking while resting.
Let it rest for about 5 minutes on a cutting board before serving. Make sure to slice against the grain.
