The Secret to Perfect Steak
Allowing red meat to come to room temperature before cooking is the secret to even cooking in less time. As a general guideline, you can let the steaks sit at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes to an hour before cooking. If you forget and your steaks are cold when they hit the heat, keep in mind, that they may take longer to cook. A meat thermometer is the best way to know if your steaks are done.
