Steak on the foreman grill?

It will cook just fine and if you use a meat thermometer you can get it to the exact level of doneness you want. It will have slightly less flavour than a BBQ because you don't get the flavour of the smoke from the fat and juices dripping down and burning but certainly won't be dry if you don't overcook it.

If it's dry it has been overcooked. Just like most forms of cooking.

I keep hearing that it will make it dry if I cook my sirloins on the foreman. But then I keep hearing that chicken turns out dry and it turns out great every time when I do it.

Yes/no? I like it medium rare.

I have been doing my steak on stove top using just a grilling pan.....

So I take steak out, and wrap in paper towel, till room temp.
Season both sides w/ McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning
heat grilling pan, once heated...
Put steak on it for 6 min, then flip, 6 min
Pull and let sit for about 8 - 10 min.

Enjoy

How long for medium rare? They are one inch thick steaks.

Idk, cook for two min and cut into them and go from there

Here is the thing...for steaks you really need SUPER hot heat to do them right....you can cook them anyway you want...but perfection is over high heat.


Ideally you want a restaurant style Salamander that cooks at 1200 degrees, but most people cant afford or install those in their homes.

This is why a charcoal based grill works best for steaks because you can get charcoal up to 650-700ish degrees. This is the ideal temp to cook steaks on.


So the problem with pan frying, oven cooking and George Forman....is that you can't get the right heat.

Acg67 is on the right path with Cast Iron...it is possible to get that sucker up to like 500 degrees on the stove....still not going to get you hot enough, but much better than other non-charcoal options.

Cast iron pan > Foreman "grill"

forman grill is faster

I have had someone cook a steak for me on one before. It was the worst, driest, toughest steak I had ever had. I pretty much let that one experience traumatize me and I have refused to use them ever since.

this :

If it's dry it has been overcooked. Just like most forms of cooking.

there is nothing special about cooking a steak on both sides at once at a slight angle that ruins the meat.

it does cook a little faster then a grill tho

Ok I'm not going to bother. I don't have a grilling pan, so there goes that. I'll let hubby cook them on the outside grill...

whatever works for you. my only objection to it was that its a ***** to clean but then i got one where the cooking surface is removeable and you can put it in the dish washer.

I think this is all pretty subjective. Prepare your food the way you like it and in a way that is convenient for you.
