If you don't have a thermal gun to determine the griddle temperature, the olive oil will start smoking around 450 F (232 C)


By pressing down gently on the steak when you're placing it on the griddle, you're ensuring more surface contact of the steak with the griddle, allowing and better sear


If your steak is thicker than 1" you may need to put the steak on a cooler spot on the griddle if it reaches the color and sear you are looking for before the internal temperature getting to the doneness you're looking for
