great steak prep!

Hey Username, 9 minutes per side is way too long, unless it's a very thick steak on low heat. 5 minutes per side on medium high will give you a medium steak at 1 1/4-1 1/2 inch thick.


Your italian dressing marinade will work fine. Marinade overnight if you can, throw it in a covered dish while it thaws and turn it a couple of times to coat both sides. Don't use the marinade to baste or as a sauce because it will have the bacteria of the raw meat in it. Watch for flare-ups because the oil in the dressing will flare if it drips too much. Use a spray bottle to put out spot fires (if necessary) to avoid burning.
