DOD Acquisition awards nomination period begins. By Steve Stark. FORT BELVOIR, Va. (April 14, 2015) âThe nomination period for the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology (USD (AT&L)) Awards Program begins today and runs through May 27.
Use tongs to turn the meat. A fork pierces the meat and you can lose delicious juices. Depending on the thickness of the steak, it will reach its desired degree of doneness in 10 to 25 minutes. For rare meat, steaks that are one inch thick will need a total of 10 minutes on the grill, including searing. Steaks that are between one and one-and-a-half inches thick will be rare in about 12 minutes. For medium-rare meat, increase the cooking times by five minutes.
Peek at the underside of the steak every 60 seconds or so until a nice row of grill marks appears. Note how long it took to get those grill marks on the timer/stopwatch. It should take three to six minutes depending on the heat of the grill. Rotate (not flip) the steak 45 degrees and allow the steak to sear for as long as it took to get the first set of grill marks. Now is the time to flip and repeat the process on the other side. Once the steak has cross-hatch grill marks on both sides, send it to the side with no heat.
