Steak Chart The SEAR function grills steaks to perfection. Here is a simple guide to cooking to your personal preference. We give instructions for grilling the steaks in the Closed position, but they can easily be done in the Open position as well - just flip the steaks halfway through. Remember to always monitor the temperature of your steaks to achieve desired doneness. Preparation: Season to taste. Drain off marinade completely if marinated before grilling. Bring to room temperature for best results. Plate and Position Grill; Closed Cooking Instructions Two-minute SEAR (with 450˚F as the default). Put the steak(s) on the preheated lower grill plate. Using the cover height adjuster, set the upper plate so it is just sitting on top of the steak, but not pressing it.

Otherwise all of that delicious juice will be on your plate and not in your steak. • For the larger 2-inch steaks grill all 4 surfaces for even cooking. 8
