I've tried cooking a couple of steaks on a small George Foreman grill,
the one that's just about big enough to cook a med-sized steak, but
find that it just makes the meat tough. These were supposed to be good
cuts of meat. Is there something I should be doing or is there an
inherent problem with cooking a steak on one of these?

I didn't see where you mentioned what cut of steak you're talking about. I
can even microwave a ribeye and have it turn out halfway decent and tender,
so I doubt seriously it's the GF grill. On the other hand, I've also heard
these grills tend to steam meat. I'll stick with a real grill or the
broiler for steak (and no, I don't use the microwave for steaks; just that
one time as an experiment!)

Sounds like he forgot to boil the steak first.

Damn straight. Hunt's is thirty cents less for a reason.

Take a little pity on the trumpet player, gang. He doesn't get much oxygen.
HiC, here's what you really need to do to improve your cooking on the GF and
impress the ladies:

1. Get an eBay account.
2. Sell the George Forman grill.
3. Buy a Weber Smokey Joe. Really, all you were doing was frying steaks
anyway. Grilled cheese, hamburgers, no problem. But steaks?
4. Cook with fire. Chicks dig fire.
5. When you've mastered the Smokey Joe, get a WSM. Chicks dig fire with
smoke.

Much like Arban, these steps require practice. And beer. But I bet uou got
that part handled, right?
