How should I cook my steaks?

I have two New York steaks (8 oz each), a Foreman Grill, and a pantry full of stuff to season them… but I don’t know where to start or how long to grill the meat for. Help!?

the foreman grill isn’t the best for steaks, but it works. it depends on how you like your steak cooked.. the 4 minutes on each side gig works if you want your steak to be medium or medium rare. when i grill steaks for my g/f and i, i usually do 7 minutes on one side, put my steak on the top rack (i like mine less done than she does), and then flip them and grill for another 5 minutes on the other side. it makes mine a nice, tender medium well, and her’s is closer to well done like she prefers.

be creative with your spice blend. just mix the seasonings that you like together in a bowl and rub them on both sides of the steak. i like to put the spices thick on the side that only gets 5 minutes as it allows for more time for the taste to seep into the meat.

the time you spend grilling on each side really depends on the thickness of the steaks and not just the overall weight. have a good dinner!

ps. the more you flip your steaks, the less tender they’ll be. it’s really ideal to cook one side for about 7 or 8 minutes and the other for maybe 3 or 4.. that makes a mean medium steak that is super tender.
