Sliced Grilled Beef
-
Ingredients:
-
- New York Strip Beef (I prefer the ones from CostCo)
- Soy Sauce
- Salt
- Prepared Dijon Mustard
- Freshly Ground Pepper
- Flavourless cooking oil, such as canola oil
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Fresh Basil
-
Procedure:
-
- Marinate the Beef (at least one hour before you will BBQ and up to one day
ahead.)
- Pat each piece of beef dry with paper towels.
- Sprinkle very lightly with salt on all sides.
- Rub soy sauce on all sides.
- Sprinkle with freshly cracked pepper.
- Spread a coat of prepared Dijon mustard.
- Let is sit at least one hour (at room temperature) and up to 24 hours (in the
refrigerator). If refrigerated, take it out of the fridge a couple of hours before you
will cook it in the grill.
- BBQing the beef
- Get your grill as hot as you can (my gas grill gets to 550F)
- Brush the grill with a hard grill brush to make sure it is clean
- Pour a small amount of oil in a small dish, fold a piece of paper towel several times
and holding the folded paper towel with kitchen tongues, deep it in the oil and smear
all over the grill. Cover the grill to let the oil burn for a minute. Repeat the process
three or four times to reduce the stickiness of the grill.
- Grill the steak, leaving the first side down longer than the second side.
- As each piece of steak gets done (internal temperature should be between125F and
130F on an instant-read thermometer), remove it to a covered dish (either a bowl
covered with a dinner plate or a heavy saucepan with a lead).
- Keep the cooked steak covered until it cools enough to handle (20 to 30 minutes). The
steak will release a significant amount of juice while it rests. Make sure to preserve
the juice.
- Slicing the steak to serve
- Try to select a cutting board from which it is easy to collect the juices to slice the
steak. As you slice the steak pour juices back into the container that has the steak.
- Using either a sharp chefs knife or a sharp bread knife, slice the steak very thinly
and put back into the pan with the juices as you slice them.
- Add a few table spoons of extra-virgin olive oil to the steak.
- Close to serving time, slice fresh basil leaves very thinly, add to the beef and toss
well (best to use hands if making a generous amount of beef).
- Serve at room temperature or still slightly warm.
