Ingredients

  • 2 T-bone Steaks
  • 2 tablespoon Kosher Salt
  • 2 tablespoon Suya Spice

Instructions

Prepare the Steak

  • Salt the steak generously with kosher salt or sea salt. Set aside for an hour. The steak will be fairly moist after salting. Pat the steak dry with a paper towel.
  • Season the steak with the suya spice if using.

Grill the Steaks

  • Pre-heat your gas grill by turning all burners to high with lid down.
  • When ready to cook, leave the main burners on high and the others on low to create two zones.
  • Once steaks are at room temperature grill steaks on main hot burner to start. Keep the tenderloin side facing cooler side.
  • Close lid and cook 4-6 minutes depending on thickness of the steaks. Flip keeping tenderloin side nearest to cool side. Grill another 4-6 minutes.
  • Move entire steaks to the cooler side. Cook another 2 minutes. Remove and allow steaks to rest for 10 minutes or so. Garnish with a sprinkling of more suya and green onions or parsley leaves.

Notes

  • If using the suya spice, note there is brown sugar in the mixture. Sugar can burn over high heat, so you'll need to monitor flare ups. A little won't hurt and will actually help with crust formation but too much and you got burnt steak.
  • I prefer a medium rare steak so feel free to use a meat thermometer to get the desired internal temperature (130 - 135 degrees F) dialed up.
  • Look for a thick T-bone steak (1.5 to 2 inches) for the best results. Thicker steaks hold up better on the grill and give you more control over doneness.
  • Let the steak sit out for about 20-30 minutes before grilling. This helps it cook more evenly and prevents it from being too cold in the center, which can cause uneven cooking.
  • Once the steak reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Resting helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, keeping it tender and flavorful.
