take your palm and hold it face up, the oart in the lower left part of your left palm below the thumb is the most tender part, push in on this part and this is what a rare steak should feel like to touch

then put your thumbs and pointer finger together and push this same part, this is medium-rare

then you thumbs and middle figner together, this is medium

then thmbs to ring finger, this is medium well

then thumb to pinky, this is well done



this is a fail proof way and i have had 2 cooks tell me this is the way they have been taught, and i use the same method and my steaks always come out perfect everytime

also give about 2-3 mins cool time if you are having a party for the steak to cool, if its just for your and another, serve piping hot form the grill


too make the grill parks you place the steak pointing at 2 o'clock first and sear it, then rotate to 10 o'clock and sear it again, push a little with tongs to increase searing of the steak to get grill marks like the resturaunt

NEVER USE A FORK TO TURN, ALWAYS USE TONGS

this is to keep the juices inside
