2-4 KC Strips set out to get to room temperature.

1 Good size pinch of Winey-Cow around a tablespoon of salt for each side of the steak. Pat the seasonings into the steaks and let sit for about 15 -25 minutes or so.

You can either grill them or griddle them and they both turn out stellar!

I cook mine mostly on the Blackstone on high for about 5 minutes per side. Lightly oiled griddle. It should have a nice sear and crust on each side. Plate when medium rare or your target temperature and let set for 5-7  minutes to rest.

Lightly sprinkle just a touch of Winey-Cow on each steak as it rest to add a hint of color.

Serve with any side but if you love surf and turf like I do be sure to check out the next recipe for Blackened Shrimp using Cpt. Black and lime juice.
