3 Steps to Grilling Beef

1. Prepare grill (charcoal or gas) according to manufacturer's directions for medium heat. To check temperature on a charcoal grill, cautiously hold the palm of your hand above the coals at cooking height. Count the number of seconds you can hold your hand in that position before the heat forces you to pull it away, approximately 4 seconds for medium heat.
2. Season beef (directly from the refrigerator) with herbs or spices, as desired, before placing directly on the cooking grid.
3. Turn beef only occasionally during cooking. Season with salt after cooking if desired (adding salt before cooking can dry out burgers).
