How well is that steak?

How do you know how well your steak is cooked? Cut it?

Unless you’re eating it already, DO NOT cut that steak! You’ll be losing all the precious meat juice in that steak.

How does it feel?

Instead, use this simple method only requiring your hands:

Wait! It seemed perfect but still ended up overcooked! What happened?

Keep in mind that food still cooks for a while immediately after the flame is out. There still is some trapped heat in there so you should adjust accordingly.


I found ChefTips on YouTube today searching for this tip I saw long ago on Rob Rainford’s License to Grill. Jason Hill /Chef Tips seems like a good user to subscribe to. He consistently uploads new videos and replies to comments and questions.
