Dry Aged USDA Prime Bone-In NY Strip — High-Heat Grill Method

The New York strip is a classic: beefy, balanced, and full of character. Add a bone and dry aging, and you get extra flavor and a dramatic presentation. This method is all about a strong, controlled sear over high heat on the grill.

🔥 Step-by-Step: Grilled Bone-In Strip

1. Temper & season

  • Take the steak out of the fridge 20–30 minutes before grilling.
  • Pat dry and season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.

2. Preheat the grill

  • Heat grill to medium-high to high heat.
  • Clean grates and oil lightly.

3. Sear the steak

  • Place the steak over the hottest part of the grill.
  • Sear for about 3–4 minutes on the first side, lid closed.
  • Flip and sear another 3–4 minutes on the second side.
  • If it’s browning too quickly, move to a slightly cooler zone.

4. Optional indirect finish

  • If the steak hasn’t reached your desired temperature but is well browned, move it to a cooler part of the grill.
  • Close lid and continue cooking, checking temp every couple of minutes.

5. Target temperatures

  • Rare: 120–125°F (49–52°C)
  • Medium-rare: 130–135°F (54–57°C)
  • Medium: 135–140°F (57–60°C)

6. Rest & slice

  • Rest on a board for at least 8–10 minutes.
  • Slice the meat away from the bone, then cut into thick slices against the grain.
