In a small bowl, combine the coarsely ground pepper, onion salt, garlic salt, and optional paprika to create the spice rub.
Pat the steaks completely dry with a paper towel, then generously rub the seasoning mixture onto all sides of each steak.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (400-450°F / 200-230°C (450°F)).
Place the seasoned steaks on the hot grates and grill with the lid closed for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy: 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, or 145°F (63°C) for medium-well.
Transfer the grilled steaks to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and flavorful steak.
Do not skip the resting period!
Letting the steaks rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing is crucial for a juicy, tender result.
