How to Broil a Steak
Ingredients
Directions
Heat and sear
Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat.
Place the steak on the grill and sear it for a moment on each side to lock in moisture.
Cook and serve
Cook the steak until it reaches your desired doneness, turning it frequently to prevent drying out.
Serve immediately on hot plates.

What each ingredient does
- Beefsteak
- Provides the meat that browns on the surface and firms as it cooks.
The step that matters
Cooking to your desired doneness. Meat proteins tighten and squeeze out moisture as internal temperature rises, so the steak becomes dry and tough if it stays on the heat too long.
