Recipe GLPR52ccccbd6a3fdf
Two substantial T-bone steaks seared over high heat to develop a rich crust while maintaining a tender, juicy interior. The simple seasoning of kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper lets the quality of the beef shine through. Each steak serves two people and cooks to a beautiful medium-rare with a resting period for optimal tenderness and flavor.

Ingredients
2 whole steaks T-bone steaks, 1 1/2 inches thick
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Remove the steaks from refrigeration 30-40 minutes before grilling to allow them to come to room temperature, which ensures even cooking throughout.
Pat the steaks completely dry with paper towels. Moisture on the surface will prevent proper browning.
Season both sides of each steak generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper just before grilling.
Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450-500°F) for 10-15 minutes with the grates clean and well-oiled.
Place the steaks on the hot grill and sear without moving them for 4-5 minutes to develop a flavorful crust on the first side.
Flip the steaks once and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the second side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F when measured with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat, away from the bone.
Transfer the grilled steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Serve immediately while hot, with each steak portioned to serve two people.
Comments
T-bone steaks are readily available at every major Charlotte chain—Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, Publix, and Walmart all stock them year-round at competitive prices, typically $12–18 per pound depending on grade and cut. The stated 90 minutes is honest; it accounts for bringing the meat to room temperature (essential for even cooking) and resting after the grill, though active grilling time is under 20 minutes. This is a no-fuss, high-impact weeknight dinner if you own a grill, feeds four with zero leftover issues (people eat steak same-night), and the ingredient list costs around $30–40 total depending on steak quality. The only caveat is that it demands a working grill and decent heat control—apartment dwellers or those without outdoor cooking space should consider a cast-iron skillet indoors instead.
