1. Heat grill for direct grilling. For charcoal: Build a pile of briquettes on bottom grate. Ignite and burn briquettes 25 to 30 minutes, until coals are covered with a light coating of gray ash. Spread coals evenly across grate; cover with top cooking grate and heat grate 10 to 15 minutes. For gas: Heat all burners on High 10 to 15 minutes.

2. Brush each side of steaks with 1/2 teaspoon oil. Combine salt and pepper in cup; sprinkle over both sides of each steak.

3. Arrange steaks in center of cooking grate; close lid and grill steaks 5 minutes. Turn steaks then close lid and grill 4 minutes more or until meat thermometer inserted into thickest side of steak registers 140 degrees F for medium-rare doneness. Transfer steaks to 2 large plates; let stand 5 minutes (the temperature will increase to 145 degrees F for medium rate). Serve with baked potato and salad, if desired. Makes 2 servings.
