How to Cook a Delicious Steak on the Grill

Himalayan Chef brings you a unique way to elevate your steak-cooking experience using Pink Salt Cooking Plates. These natural salt blocks not only enhance the flavor of your meat but also add a touch of elegance to your grilling routine. Follow these steps to cook a mouthwatering steak on a Pink Salt Cooking Plate.

Step 1: Preparing the Pink Salt Cooking Plate

Before cooking, it's essential to preheat the Pink Salt Cooking Plate properly:

Clean the Plate: Rinse the Pink Salt Cooking Plate with water and pat it dry with a clean cloth. Avoid using soap, as it can absorb into the salt.

Slow Preheat: Place the plate on the grill and gradually increase the heat. Start on low, then medium, and finally high heat over a period of 30-45 minutes. This prevents the plate from cracking due to thermal shock.

Step 2: Choosing the Right Steak

For the best results, choose a high-quality cut of steak:

Ribeye, Sirloin, or Filet Mignon: These cuts are ideal for grilling on a salt plate, as they have a good balance of fat and tenderness.

Thickness: Opt for a steak that is about 1 to 1.5 inches thick. Thicker steaks can cook unevenly on the salt plate.

Step 3: Seasoning the Steak

Himalayan Chef recommends a simple yet effective seasoning to complement the natural flavors imparted by the salt plate:

Salt and Pepper: Lightly season your steak with coarse Himalayan Pink Salt and freshly ground black pepper. The salt plate will infuse additional salt into the meat, so go easy on the seasoning

Herbs and Spices: Add herbs like rosemary or thyme, and a pinch of garlic powder for extra flavor.

 Step 4: Grilling the Steak

Now that your salt plate is preheated and your steak is seasoned, it's time to cook:

Searing: Place the steak on the hot Pink Salt Cooking Plate. Sear each side for 2-3 minutes to develop a golden-brown crust.

Cooking to Desired Doneness: Continue grilling the steak on the salt plate, flipping it every few minutes until it reaches your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy:

• Rare: 120°F
• Medium Rare: 130°F
• Medium: 140°F
• Well Done: 160°F

Resting: Once cooked, remove the steak from the salt plate and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and flavorful steak.

Step 5: Serving and Enjoying

Your steak is now ready to be enjoyed:

Slice and Serve: Cut the steak into slices and serve immediately. Pair it with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.

Garnish: For added flair, garnish with a sprig of rosemary or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Cleaning and Caring for Your Pink Salt Cooking Plate

After cooking, it's important to clean and store your Pink Salt Cooking Plate properly:

Cooling Down: Allow the plate to cool completely before cleaning.

Wipe Clean: Use a damp sponge or cloth to wipe off any residue. Avoid submerging the plate in water.

Storage: Store the plate in a cool, dry place.
