Abstract: The specification discloses a steak-cooking spike apparatus (10) for being inserted into an edge (36) of a steak (34). The spike apparatus (10) includes a heat-absorbing rod (12) for being positioned adjacent to the steak (34) immediately above the adjacent to a grill (48) to absorb heat from the grill (48). A plurality of heat-conducting spikes (26) extend from the midsection of the rod (12) in a direction perpendicular to the width of the rod (12). The spikes (26) are positioned in a row along the midsection of the rod (12) and are oriented in a parallel, co-planar relationship for being inserted into the edge of the steak (34) for transmitting heat to the center interior thereof.
