  It depends how u want it. Do u want it rare, medium rare, well, medium well, or well done?

  It depends on how much steak, how thick it is and how hot you have the fire. Its more of a feel thing. You can always cut it open and see for yourself how well done you like it.

  Start with a hot grill, lay the steak down and don't touch it at this point. Leave it alone and don't press on it.
  You will do the majority of cooking on one side. Keep an eye on it and look at the sides to see that it is browing and cooking it's way up to the surface. You will see blood forming on top, at this point you can turn it over and finish it. I never time it, but if you want, give it about 2-4 mins. depending on thickness on the first side and about 1-2 mins. on the finishing side.

  Grilling a steak depends on the thickness of the meat. The thicker it is the longer it will need to be cooked for. First make sure you start out with a hot grill. If it is a 1-2 inch steak and want it medium. Grill it on each side for about 10- 15 minutes. Make sure that you check the steak while cooking it. You can cut a niche about halfway through the steak in the center to see the color of it and if it to you liking. For your steak it could take more or less time on each side, and may take less time after it has been flipped.

  depends on how done you like it and how hot the fire is.

  I like my steaks med-rare. so if you hold our hand about a foot over the grill and count.

  1-2 VERY hot rare and med rare
  3-4 hot med and med well
  5-6 well done
  more than 7 just right for smores.

  for medium rare I grill it for about 2 minutes then turn 90 degrees then another 2 minutes then flip over and repeat. turning 90 degrees is the restaurant trick for perfect grill marks. just turn it 4 times and don't play with the steak while its cooking or you will get A LOT of grill marks. add about a minute or so per turn for each level of doneness. so for med-well grill about 4 to 5 minutes and turn.

  temperature and time go hand in hand with any type of cooking.

  higher temp equals less cooking time and more moisture.

  Lower temp means more cooking time and dryer food.
