So I've seen cooking shows and YouTube videos from famous chefs on how to cook a steak, and I get conflicting opinions.
Some people say turn the steak once only. Others say keep turning regularly.
What do you do and way?

Depends on the temp... if broiling close to the fire, I turn at 5 minutes each side until medium rare and get a good charbroil crust. If at 350-375 oven temp, 20 minutes total, 10 minutes approx. each side.

Depends for me.
If making it in a pan, I use cast iron and turn it once. Even when its placed, its not touched so a good crust forms. When done I deglaze the pan making for a sauce to put on top.
If on the grill, I'll turn as much as I want to get it to where I want. If I want it to look like it came from a restaurant each side will get a small turn to create nice grill marks before being flipped.

Ahh. So the poll is a waste since it depends. This is good stuff guys.
I'll remove the poll.

WhatBaboo said...depends on the fire. I use a mix when grilling of post oak and mesquite....mesquite gives off a lot of heat so I do one side for 5 minutes or until browned nicely and then flip and do the other side for 5 minutes. If particularly thick (2"+) then a couple minutes on each side after initial browning...continually flipping until done or reaches internal temp of 140 degrees...160 for well done. Usually turns out just as I want them.

If out on the grill you cook the steak on high heat for 5 to 7 minutes on each side to sear in the juices. Then depending on the cut of the steak and thickness raise grill and cover cooking for 4 to 5 minutes on each side....only turning once. Your first sear will give you the first angle pattern, the second will finalize the criss-cross marks that a chef attempts to achieve.

I flip only once on the grill. Sear 1 side, turn 45° to get angled grill marks (if that's your thing.) Flip and sear again. For me, that's good enough. For people who like them more done, I move to the cooler side and let it cook as desired.
Nothing but salt and pepper too

I don’t salt meats while cooking, has a tendency of drying out the meat. Put salt on table and let each individual use as they prefer. I’m NOT a salt user!!

Forgot the biggest part, also the part my dad cant seem to get in his head. After you take it off the grill, let it rest for a few to redistribute the juices back through the meat.

Extremely important wether your cutting, slicing steak, or even pulling pork....let the meat rest covered with foil. Great point Josh👌👍👌. Always let your meat rest!!

It really doesn't matter to me.As long as it's cooked slow and easy until the pink is gone.It helps if it's porterhouse.

Acheiving tenderness is a thing of art and beauty. Failing that... chew chew chew.

If you see fat rise to the top of the meat turn it. Why would I rest my meat do I want a cold piece of meat, not. I like things I eat to be pink med rare is best. I never met a piece of meat that did not take well to a marinade. I pound that salt in the raw meat. Slow beats fast cooked. Gas grills suck you might as well use a George Forman Grill. Surf and turf is not a Mikey D's filet of fish and cheeseburger. TriTip is one hundred times better than Brisket. Never Boil Ribs. I can draw grill marks with a Sharpie if you want them. That's all I got and I am fatter than you. Trust me.

Perfect steak is so simple. I get my grill good and hot. Salt the steak liberally both sides while the grill is heating up. Put the steak on for 3 minutes, flip it and 3 minutes on the other side, Done and delicious. Crispy outside and pink in the center.

I spent a long time at a steakhouse. As others have stated, On grill, rotate 45-90 degrees, flip, again rotate 45-90 degrees, remove. BUT the last step is critical. Serve the pretty side up. If the customer ordered well done, pretty side down.

I'm also in the "one flip with a rest" camp. We really enjoy a Montreal seasoning on ours and cooked medium rare.

Once it comes up off the grill or cast iron easily you flip once. Normally this is 3 minutes on each side. Then I'll put the whole cast iron in the oven for only a few minutes for a nice medium rare.
