Hi Deanna,

Here's what works for me when frying a steak....(say, about 1" thick)

Pre-heat burner to medium-high

Allow the first side of steak to cook until you can see the blood oozing on top, then turn it over and cook the second side about half the time you cooked the first side for medium to medium rare depending on how thick the steak is.

For best results, make sure you buy a good steak--T-Bone, Ribeye or Rib (cheapest) are the best--or fillet mignon if you can afford it.

Oh yeah, it's also best if the steak is not frozen when you cook it.

Hope this helps!
