If you’re a steak lover, chances are you’ll agree that one of the best ways to cook steak is on a barbecue grill. Grilling the perfect steak is an acquired skill but it’s not too difficult to cook mouthwatering meat by following these easy steps.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Steaks
  • Seasonings
  • Seasonings
  • Grill
  • Steak
  1. Step 1

    Purchase steaks that are at least one inch thick.

  2. Step 2

    Marinade your steak if it’s an inexpensive cut.

  3. Step 3

    Prepare your grill. Spray oil or kitchen spray on the grill before heating to prevent the meat from sticking.

  4. Step 4

    Trim the steaks while the grill is heating.

  5. Step 5

    Put the steaks on the grill when it’s hot.

  6. Step 6

    Turn the steaks over when juices begin collecting on the surface.

  7. Step 7

    Cook until the steaks are done. Touch with your finger or a utensil to check—well done steaks will be firm and rare steaks will have a spongy texture. A well done steak will also have more juices on its surface.

  8. Step 8

    Remove the steaks from the grill and let them stand for five minutes to let the juices absorb into the meat.

Tips & Warnings
  • Ideally you should flip the steaks only once during cooking.
  • Steak goes well with grilled vegetables, green salad, or baked potatoes.
