You make it sound easy. I like it med-well but they are often a bit hard to chew. I think maybe I cook them too long.
Thanks for the good tips,

Kathleen, I love a great steak and sometimes an overdone steak is a bit tough. I prefer mine med-well too, but more on the medium than well side just for that reason. So I guess I like mine med med-well 🙂 Happy grilling and thanks for stopping by. Merry
