Need help grilling T-Bones on Gas Grill

[Duddy]

Never done these before, my gas grill has three burners.

How should I cook these so I don't f'ing burn?

Prepare to get raped for using gas. 😛

I usually throw them right over the flames for about 2 minutes a side and get a good sear on there. Then I move up to the top rack for another 20 minutes or so keeping the temp around 325. Adjust for thickness of the cut. I use the "finger" test to check for doneness. If I can easily make a dent pushing my finger into it, then it's still rare. Light resistance is medium. No give at all...then it's a hockey puck.

I also have a little cast iron smoker box that I'll throw a little hickory chips into for some added flavor.

One other important thing is to actually pull it off a couple minutes earlier than you think you need to and let it rest on a plate to finish cooking to the proper done'ness.

crank gas to get the entire thing heated. Toss it one after warm up with burners still high then immediately turn them down to low-midlow. Regularly turn to even cooking and pull from the grill just before the interior looks like your desired style (you may have removed from external heat but internal is still there.)

Heat up till it hits 600 degrees. Throw steak in, lower heat until it averages about 525-550. Let it sit for about 4-5 minutes, flip once. (Do not puncture steak) Let it cook another 2-3 minutes, remove from heat and let it rest. Depending on thickness of steak, and how rare you like it, adjust minutes. (For a 1" steak, that comes out to about medium)

600 degrees? I don't think very many(if any) low/mid grade 3 burner grills can easily hit that. I've got 4 burners and I don't think I've ever seen it get higher than 500.

Dang, everyones directions are so different...

There isn't a universal way to cook these?

Also, RagingBITCH, your directions sound scary.

Yeah, I'm pretty certain I would have to divide by zero to get my grill that hot.

This was perfect! Steak came out like a pot roast! Melted in our mouths! Thanks!

Obviously, you know so much more about cooking steaks on a gas grill than I do, seeing as how you're asking ATOT. Yea, ok.

Mine hits 600 with all 3 burners on high within 5 minutes. I normally let it hit about 550-600 and throw on the steaks.
