On third or fourth turn, you may want to mark a check or diamond pattern.

By searing both sides of steak, and then cooking, this method will ensure evenly cooked meat.

Allowing grilled meats to rest for 2 - 5 minutes after cooking will redistribute juices creating a more tender, juicy

and evenly cooked steak.

Never press or pierce meat during cooking - a well done steak CAN be juicy & tender.
