I'm cooking steaks on a gas grill. How can I do that if my spouse likes her steak less well done than mine?
Should I put them both on the grill at the same time, but take hers off first? I don't want to do that, because then hers will be cold by the time mine is ready.
Or should I put mine on the grill first, then take them off at the same time? I heard I should cook the steaks at high temperatures with the lid open for a few minutes in order to sear them, then lower the temperature and close the lid to cook them the rest of the way. How can I start her steak by searing it if I don't start cooking her steak until my steak is already done searing? Should I wait to sear my steak until it's already been grilling for a few minutes?

Remember, for a more tender steak / it should rest, off the fire, covered for about 5 minutes before eating.
Put your steak on the grill before you put hers on the grill so they are removed atthe same time.
I like my steak cooked medium-rare. My sister likes hers cooked medium. When she grilled our steaks, she put them on the grill at the same time. To prevent mine from getting over cooked to "medium", she took my steak off of the grill and placed it on top of her steak while hers cooked for a short while longer. I have never seen that done before, but, it WORKED !
I had the same "problem" with the way my husband liked his steak. He liked his well done and I like mine medium rare. I would put our steaks on at the same time except I would cook mine from almost frozen while his were fully thawed. (I know hundreds are cringing at the fact I put a steak on the gill that was cold, it takes a long time for a piece of meat to get to room temperature and leaving a piece of meat out for an hour does not do much to change the temperature of the meat) If I did not have a frozen steak I would put his on first probably a good 10 minutes before I put mine on. Much easier to put one on first so they are done at the same time rather than put them on at the same time and try to keep one warm while the other finishes.
