Grilling Steak Tips

Need help grilling steak? Here are some general cooking tips to assist with your enjoyment.

• Apply a light coating of olive oil to your cooking grids or directly to the meat to prevent foods from sticking.
• Cook similar portion sizes together, so that they all cook evenly.
• Avoid piercing the meat, which will dry out the meat, and use tongs to turn foods.
• Use the 60/40 rule: Determine your total cooking time, cook the first side for 60% of the total time, then flip the meat and cook for the remaining time.
• Turn foods infrequently. A good steak should never be turned more than once.
• Apply sugar-based sauces near the end of cooking to prevent charring.
• To maintain the quality of the meat, defrost frozen meat in the refrigerator for 12 hours prior to cooking
