The answer to this question depends on the type of grill you are using.

If you are using a charcoal or gas grill, then it is generally recommended that you leave the lid open while cooking steaks. This allows for better air circulation and helps to keep your flame going strong throughout the cooking process.

On the other hand, if you are using an electric grill, then it is best to close the lid in order to trap in heat and ensure more even cooking.

No matter what type of grill you are using, always make sure that you preheat your grates before placing your steak onto them.

This will help to create a crisp crust on the outside of your steak and give it that delicious grilled flavor we all know and love.

So, to answer the question: do you close the grill when cooking steaks? It depends on what type of grill you are using and how hot you want your steak to be cooked! Happy grilling!
