Experience the ultimate grilled New York Strip steak with this simple yet sophisticated recipe. Perfectly seared on a Traeger grill, this steak promises a crispy exterior with a juicy, tender interior.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 New York Strip steaks, approximately 1-inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Optional: Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme) for garnish

Instructions

  • Step 1 – Start by patting the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub each steak evenly with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Step 2 – Preheat your Traeger grill to 450°F (232°C). This high temperature is crucial for achieving a good sear on the steaks.
  • Step 3 – Place the seasoned steaks directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C). For medium, cook until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  • Step 4 – Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a moist and tender bite.
  • Step 5 – Slice against the grain, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
