Prepare a grill for two zone cooking using Kingsford® Signature Flavors Briquets with Garlic, Onion and Paprika. Wait for about 15 minutes and look for ash on top layer of briquets.

Season the steaks well on both sides with either the Kingsford Original seasoning or kosher salt.
Place the steaks onto the indirect or cool side of the grill, and close the lid to allow maximum absorption of the Flavor Boosters. Cook the steak over indirect heat for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145° F for medium*

Replace the grill grate and place the steaks directly over the coal side of the grill for one minute, then make a quarter turn (45 degrees) and cook for one more minute to create the cross grill marks. Allow the steak to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
