Steak Chart - Cuisinart GR-150 Instruction And Recipe Booklet

The SEAR function grills steaks to perfection. Here is a simple guide to cooking to your personal preference.
We give instructions for grilling the steaks in the Closed position, but they can easily be done in the Open
position as well - just flip the steaks halfway through. Remember to always monitor the temperature of your
steaks to achieve desired doneness.

Steak Tips
• Allow steaks to sit at room temperature at least 15 minutes before grilling.
• Allow steaks to rest at 5 minutes after grilling so juices are able to redistribute before cutting.
Otherwise all of that delicious juice will be on your plate and not in your steak.
• For the larger 2-inch steaks grill all 4 surfaces for even cooking.
