Our meals become pretty simple this time of year. In addition to what we eat, how we eat is minimized too. Frequently dinner consist of a grilled buffalo cut, and grilled vegetables on salad greens. The complete meal is served on the cutting board that the vegetables were prepped on. Other than cutting the steak, silverware is optional. Somehow the food just tastes better, you’ll just have to try it.
Below is my simple way of “how to grill a steak”. Although this may be easy for many of you, it is a question that I get a lot. I hope it is helpful. Enjoy! Jill
- Remove steak from package, rinse and pat dry.
- Drizzle olive oil on steak and season generously with salt & pepper.
- Loosely cover and let steak rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
- For Gas Grill: Insure grill grids are clean. Turn all burners on high and close grill cover. Allow gas grill heat to come to 550*.
- Place steak on grill, close lid and cook for 3 minutes.
- Turn steak and cook for an additional 2.5 minutes, for medium rare.
- Remove steak from grill and place on serving plate and cover for 1 minute.
Serve with grilled vegetables, greens and bread. Vegetables can be added to grill at the same time as the steak, turn as above. Simply delicious.
Wine Pairing: We have the great pleasure of meeting so many great people through WIB. One of our clients, just so happens to be a wine distributor, specializing in French wines from the Madiran & Gaillac Regions. These varietals are not too heavy, with just the right amount of fruitiness, balanced tannins and earthiness. They are also high in “resveratrol” properties! Here are two that compliment buffalo nicely:
Madiran, Vieilles Vignes, Chateau Laffitte – Teston 2005 & Domaine de Labarthe – Gaillac 2006

Jill, I love this idea of serving on the board. I can now give Jerry room and board!
Best wishes with the move and success in the new venture.

Nice! That is my kind of recipe.
There are two challenges to this recipe. 1. Good quality meat; and 2. A “clean-cooking” grill that will achieve proper temperature.
The rest is easy and that is what I appreciate especially if it can be a meal shared with friends.
Peace,
Ken
Uh oh. Something was missing from directions. Amend #3: Loosely cover and let stand at room temp for 2 hrs; lock doggie and cats outside for 2 hrs. I learned the hard way that kitties just love to munch buffy bites.
