Here are three simple secrets to a perfectly cooked and juicy steak.

1. Proper temperature
  • Heat coals for 25 to 30 minutes and gas grills for 5 to 10 minutes before grilling.
  • Learn how to build a great fire.
  • The best temperature for grilling steaks is Medium heat. Use the hand-count method to determine grill temperature.
2. Distance from the heat
  • Be sure grill grate is 4 to 6 inches from heat source
  • Open grill vents so air circulates to fuel coals and cook steak evenly
3. Handle steak with care
  • Turn only once halfway through cooking time.
  • Use tongs. Do not pierce with a fork because juices will run out.
  • Test the steak for doneness with a meat thermometer.
  • Salt after cooking to minimize juice loss.
