Indirect Grilling: For indirect grilling, the coals are piled two or three coals deep on one side of the grill, or divided and piled on two sides. This leaves an empty space next to the coals or between them. If you are grilling on a gas grill, only one or two burners are lit. Food cooked over indirect heat often is started over direct heat and then moved to the cooler (empty) part of the grill for even, slow cooking. To make the heat as even as possible, construct two piles of coals or leave the center gas burner off and light those on either side of it. Do not prepare the gas grill for indirect grilling by preheating only one of two burners.

Ingredients you will need

Cooler

Equipment you will use

Grill

Let the grill preheat with all burners on high as usual, and then turn off one or more.

Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir

Steak works really well with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The Wild & Wilder The Exhibitionist Merlot with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.
