Poolside Steaks

Simplicity at it's best!

These came from FreshDirect.com. Shipped out to Amagansett, NY shrink wrapped in a thick ply vacuum pack. I ordered them as 1 1/2" thick bone in NY Strip steaks. OMG. Let me tell you folks, I don't know if it was the fresh sea air or the steaks but these were the best steaks I ever ate, in my life. I cancelled a reservation at The Palm because I know I will be disappointed after these steaks.

Here is the simplicity. Just give them a heavy dose of Kosher salt on each side and let them sit as the coals get ready. That's it!

Then throw them on a real hot grill. A glass of Cote du Rhone will help the chef.

Here is my grilling trick. I call it the 2 minute trick.

I only cook for 2 minutes each side at a time until its done. Ok here is how it works.

For my 1 1/2" thick bone ins, I am thinking around 6 minutes per side, with the grill hood off, for perfect med rare towards med not towards rare.  So I cook 2 minutes TURN, 2minutes TURN, 2minutes TURN, 2 minutes TURN, 2 minutes TURN, 2 minutes DONE.
