Either can work, but for thin (less than 3/4" I'd leave the lid up and for
thicker, put it down. Be sue to pre-heat well on the highest possible heat,
then put a room temperature steak on the grid. Cook for about 3 minutes,
flip, put the lid down. For me, that is plenty of cooking for a 1" steak.
For very thick steaks, after the flip, turn the heat down, ut the lit down,
cook to the desired doneness.
