The Best Way to grill beef
Hey there! Let's make some awesome grilled beef that'll impress everyone. Here's how to do it:
- Take the meat out of the fridge 30 minutes before grilling - this helps it cook evenly.
- Season both sides with salt and pepper. That's all you really need!
- Heat your grill to high heat (around 450-500°F). You should barely be able to hold your hand over it for 3 seconds.
- For a 1-inch thick steak:
- Rare: 4-5 minutes per side
- Medium: 5-6 minutes per side
- Well-done: 8-10 minutes per side
- Only flip the meat ONCE! Don't keep turning it.
- Let it rest for 5-10 minutes after grilling. This keeps the juices inside.

Pro Tip: Use tongs to flip the meat, never a fork! Poking holes lets all the tasty juices escape.
