Once you've eaten your 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 you cooked it. Then consider how it was done. If your steak was undercooked by the end and needed more time, then next time you will want to increase the four cooking times. If it was overdone then you will want to decrease the four cooking times. Practice and observation is the key to becoming a great steak griller.
Grilling Steaks - Step by Step
By Derrick Riches, About.com Guide
With your steak grilled it is 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, the heat and juices to spread out, and the meat to become more tender. This is a vital step to the perfect steak so don't forget it.
