Steps
- Set up the grill with two zones: a cold zone and a hot zone.
- Place the thick steaks (Rebuy or New York strip) on the cooler part of the grill to avoid burning initially, even if it is smoking hot.
- Apply compound butter to the top of the thick steaks that do not have enough fat for basting.
- Rotate the grill grate and flip the steak back to the other side after about 30 seconds. Avoid charring at this stage; aim for a golden brown color.
- Continue rotating the steak on the hot zone, cleaning off residual seasoning between rotations, until it reaches a nice golden brown crust.
- Once the steaks have a good crust but are still almost completely raw inside, move them to the cold zone and let them chill (rest).
- Apply butter to the chilled steaks for basting or as a compound butter. Note: Do not season with Google's rub before cooking due to sugar content.
- Grill the marinated skirt steak on the cooler part of the grill first, as its marinade contains sugar and it will burn quickly.
- Wait until the skirt steak develops a crust, then spin the grate and continue flipping every 30 seconds to prevent burning.
- Once the thick steaks have developed their desired golden brown color and crust, move them to the cold zone for indirect heat cooking.
- Cook the steaks in the cold zone until they reach an internal temperature of 135°F (for medium-rare).
- Remove the cooked skirt steak from the grill. Let it rest for five minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Let the thick steaks rest for eight minutes after cooking.
- Slice both types of steak against the grain.
