Need help grilling this Memorial Day weekend? We asked BLT Steak chef Victor Albisu for some tips that’ll turn you into a lean-mean-grilling-machine. In this video, he’ll demonstrate how to grill the perfect New York strip, bone-in rib eye, and hanger steaks. Albisu grew up around meat—his mother owns a butcher shop in Tysons Corner. “I’m half Cuban and half Peruvian,” he says. “So that’s quite a bit of meat between both families.” Watch the video to see how a meat pro grills it.
