- Preheat your main grill to between 300°F and 350°F preparing to use indirect grilling. Raise your side burner’s grids to the upper position if you are using an LEX, Prestige, or Prestige PRO grill, leave the cooking grid over the side burner alone if you are using the Rogue. Ignite your infrared SIZZLE ZONE™ side burner, preheating to high. Season your steak(s) well with your favorite seasoning. Coarse salt, fresh pepper, dehydrated garlic are the simplest, however, steak spice and other simple seasoning mixes work just as well.
- After the grill has heated for at least 10 to 15 minutes, it is time to sear the steak(s). Place the steak(s) onto the infrared searing them for about 60 seconds on one side. If you try to lift the steak(s) and they will not release from the cooking grid, continue searing until they lift easily. To get the cross hatch, turn the steak(s) 45° and continue to sear for another 60 seconds. Flip the steak(s) and repeat on the other side. Don’t forget to sear the edges too.
- Once seared, move the steak(s) to the main grill, using indirect heat to gently finish cooking the steak. Use a BBQ thermometer to ensure that you get your ideal temperature. Finish the steak for anywhere between 5 and 25 minutes, depending on thickness and desired finished temperature.
- Rest the steak(s) on a board or plate for at least 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve your steak(s) with your favorite sides, whether it’s potatoes, a big and leafy salad, or anything in between.

I used to be the Sultana of Sizzle, but you can call me Andrea. I have always been passionate about food. Even though I was majoring in Art and Graphic Design, I would frequently be found cooking for my friends and family.

Some cuts of meat are impressive when served; the Tomahawk Steak is one of them. But how do you grill tomahawk steaks? Using one of my favorite grilling techniques, the reverse sear is an easy way to ensure the best results.
After a photoshoot was rained out, I had these delicious, GIGANTANORMOUS T-Bone steaks that needed to be eaten. Inspired by their sheer density I decided that there was nothing one of these steaks (which will feed 2 to 4 people) need more than some smoke.
Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Soy Butter Glaze and Roasted Garlic is an easy way to create a most succulent meal without worry of overcooking such a great cut of meat. Adding roasted garlic to the mix brings a slightly sweet flavor, while the soy-butter adds all of the salt flavor you could want.
