Human: How much should I turn a steak on the grill to get that crossed grill mark on the meat?

Assistant: The ideal steak sear is a crosshatch pattern, developed by alternating the direction of the grill at intervals of approximately 45 degrees. To achieve this, you should rotate the steak 90 degrees (1⁄4 turn) every 1-2 minutes, starting when it’s hot but not too hot, and continuing during the entire cooking time. Cooking times will vary depending on the type and thickness of the meat, and your desired degree of doneness, but following this brief procedure will help you to achieve an ideal crust texture and grill mark. Turning should be done with a wide spatula or grill tongs, with a gentle, steady motion to avoid flinging the meat off of the grill.

Assistant: Well it really depends on how you like your steak cooked. You should check for doneness by pressing the steak gently with a finger or fork. If it feels firm and springs back, it’s rare. If it’s firm but doesn't spring back, it's medium rare, and if it doesn’t feel firm to the touch, you should probably take it off the grill! As for the grill lines, some people like them more than others, but the mark they create is a result of caramelizing the fat on the steak, and it’s a nice way to differentiate your grilled steak from boiled or broiled meat. If you like grill marks, grill the steak for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for a medium-rare steak. Finally, always watch your steak carefully while it’s on the grill -- it usually goes from rare to medium-rare very quickly, and you want it to be
