Steak - Raw

To properly know when your steak is done it is good to know something about what it's like before it even hits the grill. Developing a feel for the cut of meat raw will help you learn how it changes as it cooks. I recommend taking a raw steak and getting a good feel of it. A raw steak is going to be spongy and soft. The fat will typically be hard, but the meat will be squishy to the touch. As the meat cooks it will become harder and more solid through the middle.
