Frozen Steak On Grill
Grilling frozen steak is a convenient way to enjoy a delicious meal without the need for thawing. By preheating the grill, seasoning the frozen steak, and grilling it until it reaches the desired level of doneness, you can achieve a tender and flavorful result. Remember to use an instant-read meat thermometer to ensure proper cooking. Resting the steak before slicing allows the juices to settle, resulting in a more enjoyable eating experience. With these steps, you can confidently grill frozen steak to perfection and satisfy your taste buds.
Equipment
- knife
- Tongs
- grill
- aluminum foil
- meat thermometer
Ingredients
- frozen steak
- kosher salt
- aluminum foil
- olive oil
- ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. For a gas grill, set all burners to medium-high. If using a charcoal grill, light the charcoal and let it burn until covered with gray ash.
- Remove the frozen steak from its packaging and brush both sides with olive oil. Sprinkle kosher salt, coarsely ground black pepper, and any additional seasonings or steak rubs over the steak, ensuring even coverage on both sides.
- Place the seasoned frozen steak directly on the grill grates. Close the grill lid to retain heat and promote even cooking. If desired, you can place a sheet of aluminum foil on the grill grates first to prevent excessive charring or sticking.
- Grill the frozen steak for approximately 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness and desired level of doneness. Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For a medium-rare steak, aim for 130-135°F (54-57°C). Adjust the cooking time based on your preference.
- Once the steak reaches the desired temperature, carefully remove it from the grill using tongs. Transfer the steak to a plate or cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. After resting, slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately.
