Grilled Teres Major Steak
Remove the steak from the refrigerator. Liberally cover the steak with seasoning and allow to sit on the counter for 30 minutes.
Set grill up for direct high heat.
Place the seasoned steak on the grill and grill for about three to four minutes on each side. You'll gauge the time based on the internal temperature, shooting for 135° F for a nice medium rare.
Notes
Do Not Skip Step Three: Your steak needs to be seasoned and at room temperature before grilling for the best results. Pat steaks dry to remove any moisture from the surface, then add seasoning. The salt in the seasoning will draw out moisture from the surface of the steak, which will help it brown more quickly. Fast browning (called the Maillard reaction) on the outside keeps you from overcooking the inside -- leaving you with a deliciously moist and tender steak on the inside and the best possible crust on the outside.How Long to Grill: If your goal is a medium-rare steak, it should take about four to six minutes on each side on high heat (450ºF-600ºF). Your target temperature range is 130-135ºF, so your best bet is to use an instant read thermometer. Flip the steak at four to six minutes and then cook it until it reaches the desired internal temperature.Preheat Grill: A hot grill and fast browning is essential to get a perfectly cooked medium-rare Teres Major steak.Do Not Overcook: For best results you want the meat to be medium-rare. Rare is better than medium or medium well. It is a tender cut of beef but has moderate marbling so it can overcook easily.Use Thermometer: Since the thickness of the steak and the temperature of the grill both affect cooking time your best bet for any steak is to use an instant read thermometer to dictate grilling time.Storage: Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.Freezer Friendly Storage: If you know you won't use the leftover meat within two or three days, dice or slice and freeze the steak. You can use this later in a soup, stir fry, or a sandwich. It can be frozen in an airtight container for up to three months.Reheat: Whether refrigerated or frozen, you can reheat your grilled Teres Major steak on the grill or in a skillet.Meal Prep: Since this steak is prepared medium-rare, it works well enough for leftovers the next day. Dice it up and throw it with some onion and veggies in the skillet for a quick one dish lunch. You don't want overcooked meat, so start the veggies first, and then toss the meat in for a few minutes until hot through.Prep Dry Rub Ahead of Time: Prepare the dry rub and get it on the steaks a day before you plan to grill. This saves time on grilling day.
