How long should you cook a steak?

Answer

We cook a New York 1 inch thick steak on a charcoal grill for 20 minutes. We only flip once at about 15 minutes. That gives you a medium well steak.

It will vary depending on the thickness of the steak and the temperature of your grill or frying pan. Here's how restaurant chefs decide sear the steak lightly on both sides to brown. Let it cook on one side. When the juices rise to the top in little bubbles, the steak is medium rare. If you want it medium well or well done, let it cook just a bit longer. For a rare steak, use the "hand test." With your forefinger, press the meaty part of your hand near the thumb. That's how a rare steak will feel. Just poke it to see if it's done.
