dry aged steaks
Steak seasoning of choice or salt and pepper
- Preheat your grill to low, about 300°F, you don’t want to initiate the browning or Maillard Reaction.
- Season your steaks as simply as salt and pepper, or sparingly with your favorite steak spice.
- Insert a digital thermometer like Napoleon’s PRO Wireless Digital Thermometer, setting the alert temperature to 125°F. Place the steaks over unlit burners and grill using indirect heat for about 30 minutes, until the thermometer tells you that the steak has reached the ideal temperature.
- Remove the steaks from the grill to rest for 10 minutes while you preheat the Infrared SIZZLE ZONE™ Side Burner, or your main grill burners to high, about 500°F.
- Sear the steaks over direct heat for 45 seconds to 1 minute, turn each steak 45° and continue searing for a moment before flipping the steak and repeating. This will give you the perfect sear marks.
- Serve hot with your favorite veggies, a salad, or whatever else you love serving steak with.
