Special Precautions and Tips:

• If you don't have a meat thermometer, check for doneness by cutting into the steak and looking at the color of the juices.
• If the grill is too hot, the steak will burn on the outside before it's cooked through.
• Let the steak rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and juicy steak.
