Some of our customers tell us the Thermapen® “changed their life.” It’s a dramatic claim reflecting lots of little daily moments. One of the things that does change when you understand how to use a Thermapen is that you never overcook steaks on the grill again. Here are 5 tips you need to know to make sure each and every steak you grill is perfect every time. Show
1. Flip at least once before testing the temperature Flipping your steak not only browns both sides of the steak, but it also helps cook the steak from both sides. Once you’ve flipped your steak, you will begin to notice that the coolest part of the steak is now in the center. We call this the “thermal center,” and it is the key to grilling perfect steaks. 2. Push the probe tip past center & pull back through the steakProperly understood, finding the current temperature of a steak means finding the temperature of the thermal center of that steak. While some chefs recommend inserting the probe from the side, we find that the easiest way to find the temperature of the center of a steak is to insert the thermometer probe tip into the steak from the top, avoiding bone. Push the Thermapen probe tip past where you think the center of the steak is… …and then
pull the Thermapen probe tip back through the steak until you find the coolest temperature reading. This will be the steak’s thermal center—the coolest temperature in the center of the steak. For example, if you push your probe tip past the center of the steak and see 136°F (58°C) on the Thermapen display, and then, as you pull the probe tip back through the steak, you see 128°F (53°C), 123°F (51°C), and 127°F (53°C); you know that the temperature at the thermal center of that steak is the lowest reading: 123°F (51°C). 3. Verify your readings in multiple placesNote: Sometimes people ask if they shouldn’t avoid probing a steak multiple times for fear of “letting all the juices out.” Steaks are not like water balloons. The water in the steak is bound up in the cells of the muscle fibers. You may lose a tiny amount of steak juice from probing a steak but that amount pales in comparison to the amount of water you will lose from overcooking your steak by even five degrees. Probe fearlessly and have perfectly done juicy steaks every time! 4. Pull when the lowest number reaches your target temperaturedifferent sizes and shapes of steaks + a variable cooking surface = different cooking rates Let the steaks that are done rest on the platter while they wait for the other steaks to reach the same perfect doneness temperature. Test every steak and get perfect results every time! Note: Our chef-recommended temperature for medium rare steaks is 130°F (54°C), but because of the high heat of the grill cooking environment, grilled steaks will experience a little carryover cooking, so we pull our steaks at 127°F (53°C) or 128°F (53°C) and let them “rest up” to 130°F (54°C). 5. Always use a ThermapenUnlike other thermometers you might have in your home, Thermapens have a professional-grade thermocouple in the very tip of the probe. That thermocouple gets to within ±0.7°F accuracy in 2-3 seconds. But once it comes to temperature, it shows you changes in temperature in real time. Thermometers with 10+ second response times don’t show you the gradients as you pull them through a steak. They are still trying to recalibrate to each new temperature. Your hand starts to scorch as you wait for the reading to update and you never have confidence that the number you saw was accurate. But finding the thermal center of a steak is easy with a Super-Fast Thermapen, which makes getting perfect steaks a reality. And that little change just might make a difference in your life!

How long do you grill steak at 400?At 400°, cook for 3:30 minutes per side. A medium-rare steak is the recommended doneness to taste the meat's natural flavor. It's usually how meat connoisseurs and chefs like to eat it.
How long do you grill a steak at 450?Season steaks about 10-15 minutes before grilling and preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 450-500 degrees F.) Place steaks on hot, well oiled grill. Cover with grill lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, (or more, depending on the thickness of the steak).
How long do you grill a steak at 350?Grill, covered with grill lid, over medium heat (300° to 350°) 2 1/2 minutes. Using tongs, turn each steak at a 60-degree angle, and grill 2 1/2 more minutes. Flip steaks, and grill 2 1/2 minutes. Turn steaks at a 60-degree angle, and grill 2 1/2 more minutes (medium-rare) or to desired degree of doneness.
Is 400 degrees hot enough to grill steak?The temperature should be anywhere from 360 to 400 degrees based on what type of meat you are grilling. 3/4 to 1 Inch Thick. Allow for medium-low coals in your charcoal grill and check to make sure there is a solid layer of ash on top so that the temperature of your grill stays between 325 and 350.
