Choose the Right Quality of Meat. Nothing ruins a good steak dinner like a bad steak.
Season Early. You should season your meat even before you start your grill – season your steaks about fifteen minutes before you put them on the grill. That gives the seasoning a chance to dissolve and evenly flavor your meat.
Don’t Touch It!Leave it alone! Know how thick your steak is and roughly how long it takes to cook. Flip it once and give it a quarter turn once on each side.
After grilling, pull out all of the stops. Condiments make the dishes distinctive. Be bold with your fruit and vegetable-based ketchups, relishes, and salsas.
Use squeeze bottles. Pour vinaigrettes into squeeze bottles and store them in the refrigerator.
Organize! Prioritize! Plan a menu, make lists, do the shopping. Know what you can make ahead of time. Plan what you’re going to make first, second, third and stick to your plan. Get everything out in front of you – food, spices, and tools should be in easy reach.
Use a two-level fire. HIGH and LOW heat sides are recommended for maximum cooking flexibility.
Keep the lid closed for cooking longer than four minutes and during preheating.
Let the food sit a couple of minutes on the grill to develop sear marks and to help avoid sticking.
Keep it simple. Make sure you have a nice array of foods, but don’t turn the cooking into a burden. Grilling is a relaxed way of entertaining. Enjoy it!
