Absolutely! Electric grill elements have little trouble reaching steak-searing temperatures, as long as they’re plugged in a dedicated outlet with sufficient amperage. That being said, those same heating elements will quickly lose high temperatures if the lid is left open. It may seem counterintuitive to what you know about searing on gas or charcoal grills, but it’s always best to grill with the lid down as much as possible when using an electric model (especially if it’s plugged into a standard outlet).
