Mastering Steaks on the Grill


Season It

The best thing about beef is its natural flavor, which is why seasoning the meat with some light herbs and pepper are typically all you need to perfectly prepare your steak. When it comes to grilling, more often than not, the simplest seasoning brings out the most amazing results.


Sizzle It

Grill to medium rare 145F, which is usually about 4-5 minutes on each side for a 3/4-inch cut. Even master grillers beware-- resist the urge to poke, shift, or press down on your steaks. Doing so, pushes out those coveted flavorful juices that make steak such a joy to eat.


Salt It

Some grillers prefer to salt their steaks prior to grilling. Since salt draws out moisture, next time try salting your beef after it comes off the grill in order to retain those hot internal juices. For a bolder taste, try Kosher or Sea Salt and remember it's all about personal preference.


Set It

The last step could be one of the most important. Fight the urge to cut your steak open right away because letting it rest three minutes allows the juices to redistribute evenly throughout the steak. That way nothing gets in the way of you and the happiness on your plate.
