How to Make Blackstone Steak
Step 1 Season the Steak: In a large mixing bowl or on a plate, toss the steak with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using. Make sure the steak is evenly coated with these ingredients.
Step 2 Preheat the Blackstone Griddle: Set your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. Allow it to preheat for about 5-10 minutes until it reaches a temperature of around 375-400°F (190-200°C).
Step 3 Grill the Steak: Place the seasoned steak on the hot griddle in a single layer. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the steak is tender and has a nice char. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the steak.
Serve: Transfer the grilled steak to a serving platter and enjoy immediately. It's a perfect side dish for any grilled meats, poultry, or fish.
Best Seasonings and Marinades for Blackstone Steak
Steak cooked on a Blackstone griddle does not need many ingredients, but seasoning or marinades can add even more flavor.
Simple steak seasoning - A classic seasoning works very well for most steaks is just a simple combo of kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder
Season the steak generously on both sides about 30 minutes before cooking or right before placing it on the griddle.
Steak Marinade - A marinade can add extra flavor and tenderness. All you need is olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper
Let the steak marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 8 hours. Pat the steak dry before cooking so it forms a good crust on the griddle.
