Step 1

Remove steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking, allowing them to warm to room temperature.

Step 2

Heat half of the grill to medium-high and leave the other side off.

Step 3

Brush the steak with oil, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Grease the grates with oil, and then place the chuck eye steaks on the cool side for 25 minutes.

Step 5

Then move the steak to the hot side and sear for about 2 minutes on each side.

Step 6

Insert an instant thermometer into the thickest part of the steak. Remove from the grill at 120°F (49°C) for rare, 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, and 140°F (60°C) for medium.

Step 7

Transfer the steak to a plate, let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain to serve.
