How long to broil a steak? For dinner in one hour....

[Papa Deuce]

Each piece is about one pound, 1" thick.

Would like to get it to medium?

With all the cooking I do, I should know this, but this isn't something I'm used to doing.

Thanks.

Sorry... I can't help. I've never broiled a steak; I only cook steaks on the grill. Are they good broiled?

I sure hope so.

Depends on how close your pan is to the broiler. I only broil when the weather is too wild to grill, but it seems like it takes a little less time than it takes on the grill. (I'm sure that was absolutely no help at all as I reread it.)

Broil? NO way BBQ man!!!
I would do it in a grill pan before the broiler. In there I would do about 6 minutes a side on high- but that is for med rare.

I'm not a fan of broiled steak - my mom killed many a cow with that cooking meathod and turned them into leather.
But good luck and tell us how it turns out.

I would grill too, but my wife likes broiled, and I'm cooking for her..... ( and she hates it cooked it a pan... )

Do you have a food thermometer?

Is that a real inch thick? Or a "man's" inch (we know objects appear closer....)

Really an inch ~ about 7 minutes each side then let it sit for about 5 minutes before you serve or cut it

Blech... mediocre at best. I think the steak didn't have enough fat. It dried out some....

I do much better on the grill! Or smoking them in my smoker, and finishing on the grill...

My old roommate used to do that to all his meat, including steak. It just looked nasty.



OP, Hope your steaks were ok broiled. I prefer mine in a pan cooked with a little olive oil.

ITA. My parents always broiled a steak. When I meet DH he would pan fry them. They are way better this way. Then when you take the steak out throw in mushrooms & deglaze the pan with them cooking. It is fantastic!
