Do a search on "grilling chart for steak" to get various grilling times for varying doneness for varying steak thicknesses!. But, for a 1-inch steak, you're looking at 4 - 5 minutes a side for a medium steak!.
There are a few tips for cooking steak that will help you out:
- Trim off thick pieces of fat, but not all of it (leave about 1/8 inch)!. The fat contains a lot of the flavor!. But, too much fat is gross!.
- Season the meat before putting it on the grill!. I just use salt, pepper, and granulated garlic on the top and bottom!. I do this on a piece of wax paper, so I can lift up the paper and get the extra seasoning on the sides!.
- Grill the meat covered according to the time chart!. Only turn the meat once and minimize how much you lift the lid!.
- If you have a grill with a warming rack, you can give the steaks a final couple of minutes on that rack before pulling them off the grill!.
- After removing them, let them sit for a coupla-few minutes before serving (covered loosely with a foil tent or pan lid)!. They will continue to cook a bit more and excess juice is allowed to drain!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

1!. Fry: Simply put, you're tossing a hunk of beef into a frying pan!. Fire up a pan on medium heat, and warm up a teaspoon of oil for a minute, and then lay your steak in the pan!. (Make sure you turn on your stovetop fan and keep your pan covered because this tends to be a smoky job!.) A 1-inch thick steak should cook for about 4 minutes on each side, depending on how you like it cooked!.
2!. Oven Roasting: Restaurants often use this method of cooking steak, but it requires two steps:
Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees F and grab a heavy frying pan that's oven-safe (like one of those black cast iron skillets your mom used to use)!.
Turn the burner or element on high heat, and warm up that skillet until it's piping hot!.
Drop a teaspoon of oil in the pan and let it heat up
Using tongs, gently put the steak in the pan and sear it for about 90 seconds on each side!. This locks in the juices!.
Now, place the pan in the oven to finish cooking!. Roast the meat for 6-9 minutes, depending on how you like it cooked!.
If you don't have an iron skillet, all hope is not lost!. Use a regular frying pan to sear the steak, and then transfer it and all the juices to an oven-safe pan to finish the roasting process!.
3!. Grill: This tends to be the method of choice for meat-lovers!. Make sure your barbecue is piping hot (at least 450 degrees F)!. Pour a little olive oil on a paper towel or a small brush and rub the grill slats before you lay the steak down!. Once it's on the grill, reduce the heat to medium and keep the lid down (and quit peeking!) After 4-5 minutes, it's time to turn the steak over and let it go another 4-5 minutes on the other side!.
5 Tips for Cooking a Great Steak:
Decide before you start cooking on how you want the steak done!. A few people like "blue" (near raw!) but most tend to prefer their steaks from medium rare to well-done!. If you decide in advance, you're more likely to pay attention to it and remove the meat in time!.
Try to avoid turning the meat too many times!. Ideally, you should have one flip — two at most!. Resist the temptation to touch the meat too much!.
Use a set of tongs to turn the steak!. Poking it with a fork puts holes in it and allows the juice to seep out — and then you're just asking for dry beef!.
Don't mash on the steak with your tongs!. That's just as bad as poking it with a fork, and presses out all the juices!. If you're testing for doneness, just gently press with the flat part of your tongs!. The harder the meat is, the drier it will be!.
Don't just gobble up the steak the moment you stop cooking it!. Put it on a plate and let it rest for a few minutes!. You'll notice that a lovely juice oozes out as it settles!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Marinate and grill it!. If you don't have a grill or can't use a grill, season with cracked pepper and sea salt!. Sear each side!. Then, put in a 400 degree oven for about 4-5 minutes!. Make sure to let it rest a few minutes, and enjoy! (Shoot for medium-rare!. Any more than that and meat starts to get rubbery and tough!. The best way to ruin a steak is to overcook it!)Www@FoodAQ@Com
