What is burning steak?

Burning steak occurs when the surface of the steak is cooked at too high of a temperature for too long, resulting in a charred and blackened exterior. This can happen when the heat source is too close to the steak or when the steak is cooked for too long without being flipped or rotated. Burning steak can also be caused by excessive fat dripping onto the heat source, which causes flames to flare up and burn the steak. Overcooked steak can be tough and dry, and burnt areas may have a bitter taste. To prevent burning steak, it is important to monitor the cooking temperature and flip the steak frequently. Additionally, trimming excess fat from the steak before cooking can help reduce the risk of flare-ups and burning.
