Transcript:Peppered New York Strip Steak

Hi, I am Gina with About.com Food making a steak lover's favorite: peppered NY strip. I like to grill my New York strip steaks but for added touch, I use cracked peppercorns, not ground. That solid pepper flavor is what makes this steak so great.

Sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning, lemon juice and salt. Turn steaks over and repeat the same process. Place in refrigerator for 3 hours uncovered.
