grilling a steak tips:
1. the meat you buy should be bright cherry red in color and should be cut that day. avoid meat that is dark or brown or looks like it has alot of moisture on the inside of the saran wrap.
2. go on and start the grill up and wait a bit before you put your meat on. if you put the meat on too early, it will char! and no one likes burnt steak.
once it cools down enough to put your steaks on, its only going to take about ten minutes to get well done. rule of thumb, the closer the meat is to the fire, the tougher it is so you want the fire to be low and slow before you put it on.
3. dont use a fork because that makes all the juice run out, get some bbq tongs and use those to flip it and remove it.
4. you can pick lots of different pepper blends or meat rub / steak rub blends to use on the steaks before or during cooking, but dont salt it until its on your dinner plate because the salt draws the juice out and makes it tough!!
5. a marinade can actually tenderize any meat. however i suggest that you marinade it for a hour or two in the fridge and not out on the counter. never save a marinade once it touches meat. i just buy them at the store on the same aisle with the ketchup and steak sauce. i dont have time to go by a recipe when it is something like this. its something that you can just keep on hand in the cabinet for when you need it. lawry's has one that is pretty good.daddy hinkles is better but i cant find it around here anymore. jack daniels even has their brand out and it rocks.
