How to Grill a Steak to Prefection
• Pick quality beef like USDA Prime, which is the best. Rib eye is good, as well as New York strip steak, center-cut filet mignon, and porterhouse.
• With a charcoal fill the grill evenly and keep a half-inch between the grate and colas. Light the coals and let them burn for about 45 minutes and they should turn grey. With gas, set the middle burner of the grill on medium and the outside burner to medium-low.
• Turning the steak will give it and even cooking and also give it a nice browned color. Don’t cut or puncture the meat while cooking; use tongs to turn and remove the meat from the grill.
• If you think the steak has cooked to your liking you can test it by poking it with your finger to determine it is done. Medium-rare steaks ill feel soft and not have the bounce back effect. Medium will feel like a soft sponge. Medium-well will feel like a hard sponge by will bouncy back just a bit. And rare steak will show the impression of your finger when it is poked.
• Let the meat rest for about 10 to 15 minutes after cooking is over. When you are ready to serve the meat, baste it with its own juices from the plate where it was resting.
