Wrap them in foil close the grill hood. Place the steaks in top of the grill hood and cook for 4 hours.

Answer 2

It all depends on how much heat you have. The best way to tell if a steak is med rear is to do the poke test.
Take rour hand and make the "OK" sign.Then take your pointing finger on the other hand and poke the meaty pad at the base of the "OK" hand. When your steak feels like the give you feel when poked, you will have a med rear steak no matter how hot the fire is.
This is the old trick use by broiler chefs. As you change fingers to make the "OK" each finger will give the feel of the next state of doneness.

Answer 3

For an inch steak it will take about 12-15 minutes for medium-medium rare. This depends on many things though including temperate of the grill, temperature of the steak and fat content of the steak.

The best way to check if it is done to your liking is to get a meat thermometer. You'll want to pull the steak off 5 degrees before the desired doneness. Then let it rest off the grill for 5 minutes. The steak will rise another 5-10 degrees off the grill and the juices will redistribute threw the meat.

Pull the steak off at these temperatures for your desired doneness:
Rare - 120°F
Medium Rare - 125°F
Medium - 130°F

Answer 4

Here is how I do it. Put the steaks on a medium high grill to sear, 5 minutes. Turn and watch them. When the juices start to come up you have medium rare steaks. You will have to experiment with your grill to get it right.
As a side note, never salt the steaks as it will dry them out. Add salt after the are cooked.

Answer 5

It depends not only on the thickness, but how close they are to the heat.

Here's the foolproof way of telling for any thickness of steak on any heating surface:

Relax your left hand. With your right finger push on the area between your thumb and index finger. When your steak has that same amount of give, it's rare. Next, make a loose fist and push on the same area. That firmness is medium. Last, make a tight fist and push on the area again. That is the firmness for well done.

Answer 6

time depends on the heat and the thickness, but here is a little trick
Hold your hand in a lose fist poke the skin between the finger and thumb, Feel how soft it feels? That is rare. Now tighten just a little that is medium, and when you make a tight fist that is well. How poke the steak and you'll always be able to tell
Sounds funny, but It works. Now no more watching the clock

Answer 7

Many grilling recipes recommend grilling steaks over a direct-medium fire (350°F to 375°F ) on a covered grill. For grilling times we use the cookout calculator at charcoalbob.com.

Enter the details such as the type of grill (gas or charcoal), cut of steak, one inch thickness and one rare and one medium rare, etc. It will give you instructions for how to grill your steaks so that they all come off the grill at the same time, cooked to your desired doneness.

It's also recommended to allow the steaks to stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling, and to let them rest for 5 minutes after grilling to keep them nice and juicy.

Enjoy!

Answer 8

To elaborate on Steve's answer: 5 minutes per side and make sure you let them rest for about ten minutes after you take them off the grill so the juices can settle. Also, you are not barbecuing your steaks, you are grilling them. Huge difference. Bon appetit.

Answer 9

About 5mins per side over medium high heat
