Introduction
When it comes to grilling steaks, there are a few things you need to know. First, use high-quality meat and keep it chilled until ready to grill. Second, you will want your steak at room temperature before cooking it. Third, don’t overcook! Use an instant-read thermometer or app like Meathead App to help determine when your steak is done. Here are some other tips:

Grilling a steak is one of the most satisfying cooking methods. Whether you’re grilling outdoors in your backyard or using an indoor grill pan, it’s easy to get a nice char on the outside and keep the inside tender and juicy.
Grilling isn’t just for steaks! You can also use this method with chicken breasts, pork chops and even some vegetables like zucchini or eggplant slices.
What are some tips for grilling steak? The first thing to remember is that different cuts require different times on the grill; less expensive cuts will need longer than premium ones because they have less fat content that melts during cooking time (which keeps them moist). If you’re not sure how long something should be cooked at what temperature, check out our guide below:
For an excellent steak, use a high-quality meat and be sure to keep it chilled until ready to grill.
To cook a great steak, you’ll want to start with a high-quality piece of meat. Steaks are typically cut from the hindquarters or rib section of the cow, but there are other cuts that can be grilled as well: top round, flank steak (from under the ribs), sirloin tip roast and tenderloin steaks.
For an excellent steak, keep it chilled until ready for grilling so it doesn’t overcook before hitting the grill–and make sure that your refrigerator has been set at 38 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 48 hours prior to cooking time; this will help ensure your meat stays fresh longer once you get home from the store with it! Additionally, storing meat in its original packaging helps keep moisture out while also preventing freezer burn on frozen foods like breaded chicken nuggets or frozen French fries; always make sure they’re stored upright so condensation won’t form inside their containers either!
The size of your steak will determine how long it takes to cook on the grill.
The size of your steak will determine how long it takes to cook on the grill. If you’re cooking a 1/2-inch thick ribeye, for example, expect it to take about 6 to 8 minutes per side. However, if your ribeye is 1 inch thick then plan on grilling each side for 10 minutes or more.
If you’re unsure about how long a particular cut should be cooked at what temperature and don’t want to risk ruining an expensive cut of meat by overcooking it, use this chart as a guide:
Take care not to overcook your steaks or they’ll be chewy and tough.
If you’re not careful, your steak can be overcooked and become tough. The best way to ensure that doesn’t happen is to use an instant read thermometer. Check the temperature of your steak in several places when you think it’s done cooking–if one part of the meat is hotter than another, move it away from direct flames and allow it to cook longer before testing again.
When cooking a medium rare steak (which should be about 145°F), take care not to let it get too hot or else there will be no pink left at all! For example: If you take out a steak at 130°F because “it looks done” but then put it back on the grill for only another minute or two before serving… well… don’t do that!
Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure that your steaks are not rare or well done, but medium rare.
It’s important to use an instant-read thermometer to ensure that your steaks are not rare or well done, but medium rare. Don’t cut into the steak to check the temperature; instead, pull it out of the grill and insert your thermometer into its center. If you want your steak cooked medium rare, then its internal temperature should be 130 degrees F (54 C).
You can also use an app like Meathead’s Meathead App to help you determine when your steak is done.
You can also use an app like Meathead’s Meathead App to help you determine when your steak is done. The app will tell you how to cook your steak and guide you through the process, including letting you know when it’s time to take the meat off of the grill or out of the oven. It’s available on Android and iOS devices, so no matter what kind of phone or tablet someone has access to, they’ll be able to get in on this helpful resource!

Cooking steak properly is easy with these tips!
Cooking steak properly is easy with these tips!
- Don’t overcook your steak. The USDA recommends a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees F for steaks, but it’s better to go for medium rare (135 degrees F) or medium (145 degrees F). This way, you’ll get juicier meat and more flavor from the fat that melts into the meat during cooking.
- Don’t let it sit out at room temperature before cooking–even if that means putting on an extra sweater while waiting in line at the grocery store! If you do this, bacteria in your raw meat could start growing before you even get home or fire up the grill; once they’re there, they can make people sick when they eat undercooked burgers or kebabs made from those same uncooked patties later on.*
Conclusion
Now that you know how to cook a steak on the grill, it’s time to get cooking! Be sure to use high-quality meat and keep it chilled until ready to grill. Then, use an instant-read thermometer or app like Meathead’s Meathead App to ensure that your steak is not rare or well done but medium rare.
