Frequently Asked Questions
What internal temperature is medium-rare steak?
+
Medium-rare steak is 130–135°F (54–57°C) internal. Pull it from the heat at 125°F and let carryover cooking do the rest during a 5-minute rest.
How long do I cook a 1-inch steak on the grill?
+
A 1-inch steak takes 8–10 minutes on a 450°F grill for medium-rare, flipping once at the halfway mark. Rest 5 minutes before cutting.
Should I sear steak before or after cooking?
+
Both work. Traditional sear-first gives a strong crust fast. Reverse sear (oven first, then skillet) gives a more even interior — better for thick cuts over 1.5 inches.
How long should steak rest?
+
Rest steak for 5 minutes per inch of thickness. This lets the juices redistribute instead of running out when you cut it.
