Ingredients
- 2 New York strip steaks, 1½ inches thick
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Coarsely ground black pepper
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat the pellet grill to 225°F and turn on Super Smoke, if available.
- Coat both sides of the steaks with olive oil.
- Season both sides generously with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Gently pat the seasonings into the meat.
- Place the steaks on the grill grates and insert a probe into the center of the thickest steak.
- Grill until the steaks reach 5°F below your desired final internal temperature:(Rare: 120°–125°, Medium Rare: 130°–135°, Medium: 140°–145°, Medium Well: 150°–155°, Well Done: 160°–165°).
- Preheat a griddle or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. If cooking indoors, be sure to run a ventilation hood.
- Once the skillet is hot, sear the steaks for 1–2 minutes per side, until a golden, flavorful crust forms.
- Remove from heat and let the steaks rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Steaks that are 1 to 1½ inches thick work best for the reverse-sear method and allow for even cooking.
- Remove the steaks from the grill when they are about 5°F below your desired doneness, as they will continue to cook during the sear and resting time.
- Cooking times may vary depending on steak thickness, grill model, and outdoor temperature.
- For best results, use a meat thermometer or grill probe to monitor the internal temperature.
- Letting the steaks rest after searing is essential for juicy, tender results.
- Pellet grills don’t produce direct flame, so finishing the steaks in a hot skillet ensures a proper crust.
