It’s small enough that it’s easy to transport – but it weighs about 42 pounds, so it’s not an easy take. Removable plates make it easy to clean. It heats up quickly and cooks at a consistent temperature, which means you can choose to turn it up and sear it a bit or you can cook it at one slow, consistent temperature, cooking well done and medium rare steak on an electric grill.

Philips HD6371/94 Indoor Grill

• This countertop indoor electric grill for steak is smokeless contact electric grill that works similar to a griddle. It’s built to be splash proof and help reduce the wafts of smoke sometimes caused by contact grilling. Infrared technology makes this grill heat accurately and cook thoroughly through your steaks, and it preheats in about 6 minutes. Cooking takes about 10 minutes, more or less, depending on the thickness of your meat.

There is actually a big difference on clamshell versus contact grills when it comes to cooking steaks. Both grills will give you a delicious final product, but there are some things that to keep in mind when you’re thinking about grilling on the clamshell grill.

1. Unless it’s adjustable, don’t buy a thick cut of steak for your grill. We know it’s pretty tempting to cook a fat, round steak but the clamshell grill will struggle to heat it evenly. (Unless it’s built for Paninis and other thick meals.)
2. The thinner the steak, the better. Go for about 3/4” when it comes to thickness.
3. Tenderize! This means hitting the steak with a mallet to make it thinner, all over. It’s great if you’re stressed out, too. You can get a cooking hammer at almost any retail store that sells home goods. Not sure if your method is working? Learn 6 ways to tenderize a tough cut of meat.
4. Marinate! Soak your steaks in mouth-water flavors of your choosing. A good marinade needs 12-24 hours to really set into the meat. This should happen after you’ve tenderized the meat – after all, you wouldn’t want to beat the flavor out of your steak! You can try one on the market or you can make your own. Make sure to check ingredients and avoid high sugar or high fructose corn syrup. A basic marinade that’s quick and easy can be found at Genius Kitchen.
5. Be aware of grilling times. Each model will come with its own instruction manual, and some, such as the George Foreman Grill, even have cookbooks to help you create the perfect steak. Pay attention to the suggestions for the model you own.

If you’re wondering how to cook steaks on an electric skillet, you’ll find that contact grills are typically set up as a flat surface grill/griddle. You can cook more than one food item on these grills, and it’s pretty intuitive when it comes to cooking times. Check each user manual in case there are any variations. However, here are some tips on getting the best steaks from this great appliance:

1. Always preheat the skillet to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Wait about 10 minutes for it to heat up. You want to make sure that the as skillet is hot enough to sear.
3. Not sure that it’s really preheated? Toss a few droplets of water onto the skillet. If they steam up, the grill is ready. If they just sit there, it’s not.
4. If you’re seasoning the steak, do it while the grill is preheating.
5. Place the steak on the skillet when the skillet is hot.
6. A 1-inch thick steak or less should cook it about seven minutes. Cook the first side of the steak until it sears to your liking.
7. Flip the steak with tongs, and reduce the heat to about 325. Cook for about 4 more minutes. If you’re not sure if it’s ready, check the steak. It should be between 150 and 155 F on an internal meat thermometer.

Some people will cover the grill after they flip the steak, insisting that it helps it stay juicy. That’s up to your choosing. While some people swear by certain marinades with their steak, others prefer to simply aim for the most authentic indoor grilling experience.

Make sure that when you buy your steak that you choose good quality. In New York, the only way to cook a mean steak is to get your cuts directly from a butcher. In more remote areas, your options may be more limited and you’ll have to choose something from the meat section. Do your best to learn about choosing a quality steak. Look for steaks that have some marbling, but not too much. Grilled steaks are often better when they’re softer, but if you like the thick cuts, make sure there’s little fat to it.

Cooking steak is both an art and a science. The good news is that with electric grilling, you can easily master both of those things. Practice makes perfect!
