How to Cook Steaks on Blackstone Griddle
Step 1 – Prepare Griddle – Preheat the Blackstone griddle grill over medium high heat (approximately 450 degrees F). You want the griddle to be hot to get a good sear on the steaks.
Step 2 – Season Steaks – Make sure that the steaks are dry and are at room temperature. Then season the steaks with the Montreal seasonings (approximately ½ Tbsp per steak).
Step 3 – Oil the Griddle – Spread the oil out onto the Blackstone flat top grill with paper towel.
Step 4 – Cook Steaks – Once the oil is hot, place the steaks on the Blackstone grill on top of the oil. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes and do not move them to get a good sear on the steaks.
Step 5 – Flip Steaks – Then use tongs to gently lift and flip the steak. If the steaks are still sticking to the grill, this means that they need more time and they are not ready to flip yet.
Step 6 – Continue Cooking Steaks – Flip the steaks onto a separate section of the grill. Then cook the steaks for 2-3 more minutes to sear the opposite side of the steaks.
Step 7 – Temperature – Reduce the temperature on the Blackstone grill to medium heat to slowly finish cooking steak. Cook the steak until they are done to your preference. You can even do a reverse sear on the griddle.
Step 8 – Check Steak Temperature – Use an instant read meat thermometer to check the steak temperature. The recipe notes has the internal temperature for each steak preference.
Step 9 – Top with Butter – Then top each steak with approximately ½ Tbsp of butter and let the butter melt into the steak.
Step 10 – Serve and Enjoy – Season with salt and pepper then serve warm and enjoy.
Tips for Success
- Pat steaks dry before cooking
- Preheat griddle fully before adding steak
- Don’t move steak too early
- Use high heat to sear, then lower heat to finish
- Always let steak rest before cutting
What Toppings Can I Put on a Steak?
- Caramelized Onions – Grilled onions are great on burgers but they are a must when grilling these cuts of steaks. We have even added some bell peppers for add flavor.
- Sauteed Mushrooms – Most of my family loves mushrooms, and they are perfect topped with this Blackstone Steak.
- Butter and Garlic Sauce – If add butter to your steak, mix in some garlic for an amazing flavor.
Internal Temperatures for Steaks
The best way to test for doneness is by inserting an instant read thermometer into the thickest part of the steak. Do this through the side, not the top of the steak.
- Rare – 120F, cool to warm red center
- Medium Rare – 130F, Warm red center
- Cooked Medium – 140F, Hot pink center
- Medium Well – 150F, Mostly brown center
- Well Done – 160F, full brown in color
