KC Strip Steak with Pepper and Herb Marinade - 52 Sauces and Rubs (And Marinades)

Summertime and the living is indeed EASY!

As is adding extra flavors to a simple KC Strip Steak.  In a small irrelevant corner of the world, this cut of beef may be known as a New York Strip, but in the rest of the country and historically, it is a Kansas City Strip.

It is also the favorite of budget conscious grillers these days.  Just seems there is no bargains anymore in the meat counter.  But I did find a very good price on these the other day!

And oh wow does this marinade combination spice rub adds a tremendous amount of flavor!

Easy, Unique and memorable... Perfect for that "Sale Day" at the meat market!

OK... Here's what I did...

KC Strip Steak with Pepper and Herb Marinade

Ingredients

• 2 - One inch thick Eight Ounce Kansas City (OK, Sometimes called New York) Strip Steaks
• FOR THE MARINADE:
• 1/4 Cup Herbes de Provence Spice Mix (Store Bought or Make your Own)
• 3 TBS Fresh Cracked Pepper
• 3 TBS Coarse Sea Salt
• 4 Garlic Cloves, Crushed and minced
• 3 TBS Brown Sugar
• 1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (To taste, more if you want Spicy, less if you prefer less spicy)
• 2 TBS Soy Sauce
• 2 TBS Olive Oil

Cooking Directions

1. Mix all ingredients to form a paste
2. Smear the paste to coat each steak.
3. Wrap each steak in Cling wrap or seal in a Ziplock bag.
4. Refrigerate for 8 Hours.
5. Remove from fridge and unwrap, and allow to come to almost room temperature, about 1 hour.
6. Meanwhile, prepare your grill for high heat, Direct Grilling.
7. Grill, about 5 minutes each side until internal temperature reaches 125 degrees for Medium Rare (add 1 minute for Medium (130 degrees), 2 minutes for Medium Well (135 Degrees))
8. Remove from grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to be reabsorbed into the meat, making for a juicy steak (and not a steak served in a pool of bloody juices).
9. Slice against the grain, I like to serve the slices rather than a big hunk of meat. Serve warm and ENJOY!
