Grilling Steaks - Step by Step

By Derrick Riches, About.com Guide

With your steak grilled, it's time to get it off the grill and onto a plate (not a cold plate). Resting meat is one of the most important steps when grilling. Let your steak rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will allow the meat to relax and the heat and juices to redistribute. This is a vital step to the perfect steak, so don't forget it.

Once you've eaten the steak it is time to record your findings. Keep track of the thickness and cut of the steak, the grilling temperature on your grill, and the time spent cooking it. Then consider how it was done. If your steak was undercooked by the end and needed more time, then next time, increase the four cooking times. If it was overdone, then decrease the four cooking times. Practice and observation is the key to becoming a great steak griller.
