To cook a steak medium-rare, target 3:30 minutes per side at 450 degrees, whether by grill, broiler, pan, etc. This is general guidance for a steak 1-1.25″ thick. Use a meat thermometer to determine when 130 degrees is reached and then let rest for 10 minutes.

If you don't have a meat thermometer, use the finger test: start by relaxing your hand and touch your middle finger to your thumb. With your other hand, poke the fleshy part under your thumb. That's what a medium-rare steak feels like when you poke it. (Please don't cut into the steak to check!)
