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.
