I tried Ina Garten’s recipe for New York strip steaks. The tender, juicy cuts of meat were some of the best I’ve ever had.

• I tried making Ina Garten’s recipe for New York strip steaks on my charcoal grill.
• The recipe only called for a few ingredients and the steaks came out juicy and delicious.
• I’d definitely try Garten’s unique steak-grilling method again.

As a fan of celebrity chefs and their cooking methods, I’ve spent lots of time deeply immersed in Ina Garten’s treasure trove of recipes.

From my all-time favorite chocolate-chip cookies to a full Garten-inspired Thanksgiving dinner, I’ve yet to find a recipe from the Food Network star I didn’t love.

Recently, I tried Garten’s method for grilling New York strip steaks — a very specific way of cooking the thick cuts of meat that resulted in some of the most delicious steaks I’ve ever made at home.

After all, my family and I love eating at a nice steak house, but dining out as a family of four can be expensive. A survey of 1,000 Americans by US Foods found the average respondent spent $166 a month eating out.

So, I was excited to try out Garten’s grilled New York strip steak recipe, which cost me just under $30 to make.

Here’s what it was like to try Garten’s recipe at home.
