Grilled Strip Steaks

By Addie

“Fire up the grill on a warm summer evening! Paprika, cayenne, oregano and thyme add a lively accent to grilled steak.”

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 4 strip steaks, 1 inch thick (about 8 ounces each)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium heat. Combine the salt, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, cayenne, oregano and thyme in a small bowl.


Rub both sides of the steaks evenly with the salt mixture.


Place the steaks on the grill. Grill for 6 minutes. Turn the steaks over. Grill until the steaks are cooked to medium doneness, 4–6 minutes longer.


NOTE:

No need to rub the steaks with oil first—the seasoning mixture gives the steaks a nice blackened finish without adding extra fat.
