How to Grill Beef Shoulder Steak

Well, we all know that grilling season has finally arrived. Last week, Fran came home from the grocery store with a beef shoulder tender.

This steak was already packaged and marinated with tangy vinegar, garlic, onion, and black pepper. All I had to do was grill this steak without ruining it.

The truth be known, I've never heard of this cut of beef before, so I looked it up. Here is what I discovered.

Beef tender is a cut from the shoulder and is one of the most tender cuts of beef. It is very similar to a Filet Mignon but less expensive.

Fran said this is the most tender steak that I have ever cooked on the grill. Who am I to argue with that? Here is how I grilled this petite tender beef shoulder.

I set my grill to high. The grill was ready in about 5 minutes.

1. I grilled the first side for exactly 4 minutes.
2. Turned the steak over and grilled the second side for 3 minutes.
3. I lowered the grill setting to medium after 3 minutes on the second side.
4. Turned the steak over again, closed the lid, and grilled for 10 minutes. Until the internal temperature reached 130 degrees. 
5. Then I let the steak rest for 5 minutes before cutting it.

This steak weighed a little less than one pound, so your grill time may vary depending on the size. As long as you keep an eye on the internal temperature, you'll be fine.

This method yielded a perfectly juicy, medium-rare, tender steak. I highly recommend this cut of beef; I know you won't be sorry.

As always, thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy.

Whether you're cooking meat on the grill, in the oven, or on the stovetop, it's always a good idea to have a good meat thermometer. And, a good, sharp knife to cut the meat.
