Perfect Steak Tip and Tricks
Suggested total cooking times are estimated below for a preheated oven broiler. Red-hot charcoal may take less time.
- Cooking times below include the initial searing time. Be sure to deduct the searing time from the total estimated cooking time to determine how long the steaks should be grilled, pan-seared, or pan-roasted.
- Give filet mignon one minute less to cook than other steaks.
Please DO NOT OVERCOOK.
For best results, check the internal temperature for doneness with an instant-read thermometer a couple of minutes before the end of suggested cook time.
