Is your Steak Rare or Well Done ...

How to Grill the Perfect Steak

Grilling the perfect steak boils down to perfect timing. Start by letting your steak rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before putting it on the grill. Cold steak won't cook evenly.

Once your steak is on the grill, leave it alone. Wait until it develops a seared crust before you flip or even move it. Otherwise, it will stick to the grill.

Use the touch test to the right to see if your steak is done to your liking. When in doubt, take it off sooner rather than later. You can always cook a steak more but you can't un-cook it.

Once it's off the grill, let it rest for 5 minutes. This will give the juice a chance to settle. It will fill your mouth with flavor instead of running out on the plate.
