Special Precautions and Tips:
- For a more intense flavor, marinate the steak overnight in the refrigerator before grilling.
- To prevent the steak from overcooking, use an instant-read meat thermometer to monitor its internal temperature.
- Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving, as this allows the juices to redistribute and results in a more tender steak.
