Simple Grilled Steak is an easy weeknight dinner for one or more, easily dressed up for guests, or a make ahead protein for meal prep. Keep it simple with salt and pepper or make an easy homemade steak seasoning for a little more depth of flavor and nutrition. Pro tip: dress it up with a small dollop of herbed butter as it rests for a restaurant quality meal.
