Grilled Wagyu New York Strip (Direct-Heat Method)

Method

1. 1

   Salt steaks 1 hour ahead. Pat dry, oil lightly, pepper just before grilling.

2. 2

   Heat grill to 600°F+ on the hot side, leave one zone unlit for safety.

3. 3

   Place steaks at a 45° angle to the grates. After 90 seconds, rotate 90° for crosshatch marks. 90 more seconds.

4. 4

   Flip. Repeat the rotation. If flare-ups get out of control, slide to the cool zone for 30 seconds.

5. 5

   Pull at 125°F. Rest on a board with a thin smear of Wagyu tallow on top — it'll melt into the steak.

6. 6

   Pairs perfectly with smoked brisket leftovers for a Texas surf-and-turf night.
