How to Broil a Steak
Ingredients
Directions
Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat.
Place the steak on the grill and cook for a short time on one side.
Turn the steak frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent it from drying out.
Cook until the steak is no longer bloody when cut, adjusting for your preferred doneness.
Serve immediately on hot plates, optionally with butter on the side.

The step that matters
Turning the steak frequently. Frequent turning promotes even cooking and helps keep the surface from drying out, which keeps the steak juicy and reduces uneven doneness.
