How to grill a good steak?

Here is a good website that I ran across. I was actually looking for suggestions from Emeril and this turned up

The one piece of advice I have not yet been able to get my husband to remember......

Take the meat off the grill BEFORE it is done to the person's liking. Meat still continues to cook even after it has been removed from the grill. Very easy for a rare steak to become medium. Thickness of the steak has alot to do with this too. We cook on low and cook the steaks on the top rack. Then bring it to the bottom for searing just before done.

How we grill...

Hot grill, add steak grill for a bit on one side and a bit one the other...
DONE! Rare...juicy, yum!
No seasonings, marinades, salt...nada, nothing. We like them NEKKID.

However, I have just found out that the meat market we used back in MO, runs them through a tenderizer...My mom had to ask. They said that is why there steaks are so juicy and good.
hmmmmm....

We grow our own beef....so it is very different from the store stuff. We cut the t-bones into 1" thick steaks and I try to cook them on the grill while they are still a bit frozen. Our meat is very lean so if I leave them on one side too long, they stick. We eat all of our meat well done....always have. So, I cook them on one side until they are browned with the grill lines on them, then turn them over until the other side is browned. Then, I just keep turning them until there is no more red running out of them. I don't use any seasoning on ours.

First: Better steaks taste better. I prefer filets and sirlions

Second: Pre-heat BBQ - we like a high heat (450)

Third: Don't flip or puncture. We flip once and grab the steak, never puncture.

This makes our steaks very juicey!

hmmmm, we occasionally buy our meat from a local meat market too. We go there to get delmonicos and it runs around $32.00 for 4 steaks, but they are the BEST steaks I've ever had and this includes every restaurant I've ever eaten a steak from. They are always super tender and juicy too. I had no clue there was such a thing as a tenderizer that they could use. I'm going to ask if our market does this the next time we're there.

I'm not an expert at grilling, but I do a lot of cooking.

Leave off the salt until you bring the steaks to the table. Salt can dry out your meat.

My other recommendation is to purchase an instant read thermometer. It makes a huge difference in my cooking. For steaks, an internal temperature of 125 to 160 degrees is best.

Here is a temperature chart for steaks: http://whatscookingamerica.net/Information/MeatTemperatureChart.htm

I agree. And a hot grill is best. Slow cooked steak is "yuck".
