How Long Should You Cook A Steak?
The cooking time for a steak depends on the thickness of the steak and the desired level of doneness. As a general rule, a 1-inch thick steak should be cooked for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, 4-5 minutes per side for medium, and 5-6 minutes per side for well-done. It’s best to use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the steak has reached the desired level of doneness before removing it from the heat.
