Ingredients

  • 4 steaks ribeye, sirloin or filet mignon
  • 4 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Season the steaks with kosher salt on both sides. Leave in the refrigerator uncovered to dry brine for 1 hour.
  • Fire up your pellet grill to 450°F (230°C)
  • Remove steaks from the refrigerator and leave them to come to room temperature while pellet grill warms up.
  • Once pellet grill is at cooking temperature, place steaks on grill grates. Insert a meat probe into one of the steaks, in its thickest part.
  • Close lid and cook for 5 minutes. Turn steaks and grill for a further 5 minutes. Cook to desired doneness: 120°F for rare, 130°F for medium-rare, and 140°F for medium-rare. Use a meat probe to gauge internal temperature.
  • Once at desired temperature, pull steaks from grill. Leave on a counter or chopping board to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
