A few things worth knowing.

How long does t-bone steak take in the grill?

For 1-inch steak, direct high heat, the chart baseline is 6-8 minutes at 450°F. Adjusted sizes and temperatures are modelled estimates.

What makes t-bone steak cook faster or slower?

Use evenly sized pieces so the center and outside finish closer together. Thickness, initial temperature and appliance output also matter. A total basket weight does not describe the thickness of each piece.

Can I cook t-bone steak from frozen?

This method has no supported frozen model. Thaw safely first and use the reference shape.

When should I start checking?

Check at 6 minutes for this setting. Keep cooking if the center has not reached the appropriate safety endpoint or texture. A timer is a reminder to check.

How do I know when t-bone steak is done?

Reach 145°F before removing from heat, then rest for at least 3 minutes. A thermometer beats any timer.
