Why Can't I Grill A Decent Steak?

And it doesn't do a thing for the meat. It is better for the meat to go directly from cold storage to the heat.

Letting it sit after cooking is okay and does let juices recollect.

As other people have said, 6 or 7 minutes per inch or so. Don't be afraid to flip twice if you don't think it is done.

If you have the time, try searing both sides, then cooking it slower with indirect heat. Usually produces a juicy steak.

And I'll suggest my favorite steak rub: Jerk. Jerk seasoning on a steak is delicious.

Maybe if the restraunt you go to is Dennys

You absolutely want to let your steak come up a Lil in temp b4 u grill or broil it or cast iron.

Your nonsense about getting sick from a steak being out for a half hour/hour is idiotic
