Ingredients
3 pounds shell steak bone in New York strip steaks at room temperature
Sea salt to taste
Cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat a gas grill to high heat between 380 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit and place a cast iron skillet on the grill grates to heat
Pat the shell steaks dry and season both sides evenly with sea salt and cracked black pepper
Place the steaks into the hot cast iron skillet leaving space between each piece
Sear the first side until a golden crust forms then flip with tongs and sear the other side
Reduce grill heat to medium and continue cooking until the desired doneness is reached turning once halfway through
Check internal temperature using a digital thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat away from the bone
Remove steaks from heat and place on a cutting board
Lightly tent with foil and allow the steaks to rest before serving
Notes
For medium rare shell steak remove from heat at an internal temperature of 130 degrees Fahrenheit
Cast iron skillets require extra preheating time so allow several minutes for proper heat buildup
Avoid pressing down on the steaks while cooking to preserve juices
Charcoal grilling adds a subtle smoky flavor when finishing the steak over indirect heat
