How long do broil a steak to have it medium well?

I can't give you an exact time for broiling a steak to medium-well. Here's why:

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

* Broiler Temperature: Different ovens have varying broiler strengths.

* Personal Preference: What one person considers "medium-well" might be slightly different for another.

Here's a general guideline, but you'll need to check the steak's internal temperature:

1. Preheat Broiler: Make sure your broiler is nice and hot.

2. Season Steak: Season your steak with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.

3. Broil: Place steak on a baking sheet and broil for about 3-5 minutes per side for a thinner steak (1-inch thick). For a thicker steak (1.5-2 inches), you might need to broil for 5-7 minutes per side.

4. Check Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the steak's internal temperature. Medium-well is typically 145-160°F.

5. Rest: Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps redistribute the juices.

Important Notes:

* Don't overcook: Medium-well is on the edge of becoming dry, so watch it carefully.

* Flip Once: Flip the steak only once to help maintain its juices.

Remember, a meat thermometer is the most reliable way to ensure your steak is cooked to your liking!
