Work out grill time instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Grill time scales with thickness at a minutes-per-millimetre rate that rises with doneness, split evenly between the two sides, with a rest of about 40% of the cooking time. Thickness rather than weight governs grilling, because heat has to travel from both faces to the centre regardless of how wide the steak is.
Total time
total minutes = thickness in mm x minutes per mm for the doneness x 2
Per side
per side = total / 2
total minutes = thickness in mm x minutes per mm for the doneness x 2. Grill time scales with thickness at a minutes-per-millimetre rate that rises with doneness, split evenly between the two sides, with a rest of about 40% of the cooking time.

Enter thickness, doneness, turn every. The defaults shown are a realistic worked example — swap in your own figures to get a result you can use.
