Grilling steak can be a delicious and satisfying experience, but getting the timing just right can be a challenge. To help you achieve the perfect steak every time, use this handy steak grill time chart as a reference for cooking times based on your preferred level of doneness.
For a rare steak, grill it for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side. This will give you a steak that is seared on the outside but still pink and cool in the center. Remember to let the steak rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute before slicing and serving.
Medium
If you prefer your steak cooked to a medium doneness, grill it for about 4-5 minutes on each side. This will result in a steak that is pink in the center with a slightly charred exterior. For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F before removing the steak from the grill.
Well-Done
For a well-done steak, grill it for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side. This will give you a steak that is fully cooked through with no pink in the center. Keep in mind that cooking a steak to well-done may result in a drier texture, so be sure to monitor the steak closely to avoid overcooking.
