No disrespect to any that have posted... but for straight up steak here is what I think is best...

-Bring the steak to room temp by letting it sit out on the counter for about and hour.

-Bring your grill up to as hot as it will go. I have a couple of Big Green Eggs so that is about 750 degrees, but most grills will get above 500 if you really try.

-Liberally apply olive oil and then Montreal Steak Season to the both sides of the steak.

-Sear on the grill for 90 seconds. Turn 90 degrees and sear for another 90 seconds to get your grill marks. Flip the steak and grill for another 90 seconds.

-Take the steak off of the grill and let it sit covered with foil while you let the grill come down to about 400 degrees.

-Put the steak back on the grill and cook to 135 internal for medium rare.

-Let rest for at least 5 minute before serving (this is the most important part).

Enjoy!!
