How long do you grill a 1.75 thick swordfish steak weighing 2.4 lbs?

I can't give you an exact grilling time for a 1.75" thick, 2.4lb swordfish steak. Here's why:

* Grill Temperature: Grilling times vary wildly based on your grill's temperature. A hot grill (around 450-500°F) will cook much faster than a medium-heat grill (350-400°F).

* Steak Thickness: A thicker steak will take longer to cook through than a thinner one.

* Desired Doneness: Do you prefer your swordfish rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done? This affects the cooking time significantly.

Here's how to approach grilling your swordfish:

1. Preheat Your Grill: Aim for medium-high heat (around 400°F).

2. Season: Season the swordfish generously with salt and pepper, and perhaps your favorite herbs and spices (paprika, garlic powder, etc.).

3. Grill Time: Start with approximately 4-5 minutes per side for a medium-rare steak. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it's cooked to your desired doneness.

* Medium-rare: 130-135°F internal temperature

* Medium: 140-145°F

* Medium-well: 150-155°F

4. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.

5. Rest: Allow the steak to rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Important Tips:

* Don't Overcook: Swordfish can become dry and tough if overcooked.

* Use a Thermometer: This is the most reliable way to ensure your swordfish is cooked to your liking.

* Watch for Signs: As the swordfish cooks, look for browning on the outside and a slight separation of the flesh, which indicates it's getting closer to being done.

Enjoy your delicious grilled swordfish!
