Cooking steaks of 1/2 inch thickness at a temperature of 425°F to 450°F is the best method for achieving the greatest results. If you’re using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are medium-hot and not completely coated with ash, but a barely-covered coal is good.
How do you check the temperature of a steak before cooking?
When you’re ready to take the temperature reading, push the metal probe into the center of each steak and take the temperature reading.You may repeat this process as many times as necessary because steaks will not lose any fluids when pierced with a thermometer.Check out our instructions below for information on what temperature to remove steak from the grill and what temperature to cook the steak to its final doneness.
How long should a cooked steak rest at room temperature?
A cooked steak should be allowed to rest at room temperature for at least five minutes, and ideally for half the time it took to cook – it will remain warm for up to ten minutes after that. Here is where pure physics comes into play: the fibers of the meat will reabsorb the liquids that have escaped, resulting in a juicy and tender finish to your steak.
