  1. It’s okay but it could be better. The skin looks pretty moist with lots of charred ends rather than evenly seared. I would guess that the steak was too wet before you put it on the grill?

  2. Looks delicious! I’d probably cook the steak about 75 seconds less overall, because I like a em a teeny bit more medium rare. You know what you like though! If that applies to you, you should make note and adjust hehe.

    Good but it looks like it has some saliva all over it

    You did a fine job on this steak. I used to grill a lot, then moved to an apartment where I couldn’t have a grill. I went without a grill for 12 years and had to learn to cook steak in a skillet. I like it every bit as much as charcoal grilling now. It’s harder to accomplish certain things on the grill.

    1. The sear. In a skillet you can keep an entire side of the steak in contact with high heat, which makes a nice crust on your steak. You did really well here in getting a nice crust on a grill. I never did so well. Kudos!

    2. Internal temperature control. With the meat resting directly on a hot metal surface, you can accelerate or retard your cooking by raising or lowering the heat. This allows the meat to cook very fast on the outside and heat up to a warm temperature on the inside without changing color. This is very hard to do on a grill, especially a charcoal grill. That’s why your steak ended up with thin grey strips on the top and bottom edges. Your steak is nice and pink on the inside. This means it’s medium. I often got that same result. I think that, if you want it to come out more rare and still be cooked on the outside, you need to raise the heat. The technique will depend on what type of grill you use.

    All in all, nice job. I hope my next charcoal-grilled steak comes out looking like this one.

    That looks about perfect to me. All it needs is melting butter, some salt and pepper. And then to get in my belly.

    Would’ve did better if you stopped by my house after!
