How long to cook your steak on the George Foreman Grill, depending on its thickness and how done you want your steak. Whether you're a steak fanatic or just trying to find an easy and healthy meal option, the grilling is a great choice for cooking up delicious steaks.
At the highest temperature setting, preheat your Foreman Grill with the lid closed for at least 5 minutes. Wait for the green light. It means that the griddles have reached their optimal cooking temperatures. This pre-heating will help sear the steak when cooking and provide great flavor and grill marks.
Place the steak on the grill and close the lid. Leave it alone and let it grill for at least 4 minutes. Cooking times will vary based on the doneness you desire. However, as a rule of thumb, use 4-7 minutes for rare and 6-9 minutes for medium-rare to medium. If this is the first time using your grill, check after 4 minutes to see how done it is using a meat thermometer. If you like the crisscross grill marks, now is a good time to rotate the steak.
Remove the steak to a clean plate or cutting board. Allow it to rest with foil tented over the top for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. For even more flavor, add a pat of butter on top while the steak is resting.
